What's the difference between yoga elastic belt and yoga stretching? Is the principle the same?

The main differences between "Yoga elastic belt" and "Yoga Extension Belt" are as follows:

1, different materials. The stretching belt usually uses 100% pure cotton belt. High-quality stretch tape has a width of 3.8cm and a thickness of 2.2-2.5mm, and feels thick and soft. Elastic belt generally uses PP thread and nylon belt, which looks like a cotton belt, feels soft and tends to slip after sweating.

2. Different roles. Elastic belt can be used as a strength to lift your feet or support your waist when you practice bending or stretching your legs. Stretching belts can help muscles and bones stretch, prolong posture stay time, or just buckle your body through stretching belts and let your hands stretch freely.

3. Different elasticity. Elasticity has elasticity, and yoga stretching belt has no elasticity.

Extended data

Use the action essentials of "Yoga elastic belt";

1, sink your shoulders and hold out your chest

During training, the shoulders should relax and sink, and at the same time shrink and hold out the chest. Because every joint of the body has a most suitable movement position, if the position is not good, the pressure and wear of the joints will increase during the exercise, which will eventually lead to injury. So when training in elastic belt, try to sink your shoulders and take them back.

2. Abdominal straight back

We need to pay attention to good posture in training. During training, keep the pelvis in a neutral position (don't lean forward or backward), and at the same time tighten the abdomen slightly inward to increase the stability of the trunk and prevent injury.

3. Knee to toe

Knees should be slightly flexed during standing training, not too straight. This is because the excessive extension of the knee will make the ligaments and soft tissues at the back of the knee longer and looser, leading to unstable joints and easy injuries. In addition, when standing training, the knee joint should point to the toes and not buckle inward to prevent damage to the medial ligament.
