Stretching exercises are most productive when done after the workout or exercise to improve flexibility. 

During workout or exercise, lactic acid builds up in a person's muscles, giving that feeling of soreness and fatigue. The muscles can stay in this "semi-contracted" state for hours. Stretching after exercise helps to reduce this soreness by increasing blood circulation, helping the muscles to recover faster. 

In addition, consistently working out and exercising may increase the growth of muscles but the connective tissue (fascia) does not grow as fast together with the muscle. This means that little by little, the muscles will eventually become compressed by the fascia as they continue to grow despite the slow rate of expansion of the fascia. Stretching can help expand the fascia to allow for more room for muscle growth, without negatively affecting a person's flexibility.

Nitella [24]

Answer: The additional protection in the body of aerobic organisms are that they can fight with the ROS radicle formed in the body.

Explanation:

The aerobic organism use oxygen as a final electron acceptor. The aerobic organisms have enzymes in the body which helps in getting from the reactive oxygen species. These enzymes are superoxide dismutase, peroxidase and catalase.

Anaerobes are vulnerable to these ROS which is produced by their own metabolism. They do not contain the enzymes such as superoxide dismutase and catalase that can help them to survive in these conditions.

Hence, because of antioxidants the aerobic organism can survive in oxygen and anaerobes cannot.
