class 6 Physical Education and Well-being Textbook Chapter 2 question answer
To perform the rear shoulder stretch, extend one arm straight across your chest. Use the opposite hand to gently pull the extended arm toward your body, holding the position for 15–20 seconds. Switch arms and repeat. This stretch reduces muscle tension in the shoulders, enhances upper-body flexibility, and prevents stiffness. It’s beneficial before or after physical activities involving shoulder movements, such as throwing or lifting, and improves posture by relieving stress.
