Cultural Tip
In Italian fitness circles, "allungamenti" is a perfectly acceptable term, but many people also use the English loanword "stretching". When speaking with a physiotherapist, you’ll often hear the more technical term "esercizi di allungamento". Remember that "muscoli posteriori della coscia" specifically refers to the hamstrings, not the calves (muscoli posteriori della gamba).
