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.

What two substances are we concerned about over-nourishing our water sources and ultimately leading to eutrophication?
expeople1 [14]

The correct answer is - nitrogen and phosphorus.

The nitrogen and the phosphorus are the two substances that cause most of the eutrophication. It is good for the organisms that live in the water when these two substances are available as they are very important nutrients, but if the optimal amount is surpassed than it can be devastating. When there's high quantities of nitrogen and phosphorus in the water it makes it much more rich in nutrients that it should be. That kind of situation is the best for the algae, which start growing all over the place, quickly covering the water and becoming the dominant life form. As that happens, the organisms that use photosynthesis will die out because the Sun will be blocked, and the algae  will also contribute to a big reduction of the oxygen in the water too. The end result being totally destroyed ecosystem that has been overtaken by algae.
