Kultureller Hintergrund
While 'stretching' is a global concept, in China, it is deeply rooted in traditional medicine (TCM) philosophy. There is a famous saying: 'Stretch an inch of tendon, live ten years longer.' This makes `拉伸` a daily ritual for many elderly people in parks across the country.
Add '一下' for natural flow
Instead of just saying `拉伸`, say `拉伸一下`. It sounds much more like a native speaker describing a quick action.
The 'Tendon' Secret

What It Means
拉伸 is the standard term for stretching your body. Think of it as lengthening your muscles. It is a physical action. It is not about stretching the truth. It is about your physical health.
How To Use It
You use it as a verb or a noun. You can say you are 'doing' 拉伸. Or you can say you need to 拉伸 your legs. It is very versatile. Use it just like you use 'stretch' in English gym talk. It sounds natural and proactive.
When To Use It
Use it at the gym with your trainer. Use it in the office when your back hurts. Tell your friends you need a minute to 拉伸 after a hike. It is perfect for any fitness context. It also works for yoga or dance classes. Even waking up in the morning counts.
When NOT To Use It
Do not use it for stretching objects. If you pull a rubber band, use 拉. If you are 'stretching' a budget, use 扩大. It is strictly for muscles and limbs. Don't use it to mean 'exaggerating' a story. That would sound very confusing to locals.
Cultural Background
In China, public parks are full of people doing 拉伸. You will see grandpas doing high kicks. You will see grandmas stretching on parallel bars. Physical flexibility is highly valued for longevity. It is a social activity in the mornings. It is not just for young athletes.
Common Variations
You might hear 拉筋. This is a more traditional way to say it. It literally means 'stretching the tendons.' 拉伸 sounds a bit more modern and scientific. Both are great to know. Use 拉伸 for a professional gym vibe.
Nutzungshinweise
The phrase is neutral and safe for all contexts. It is most commonly paired with the verb `做` (to do) or used alone as a verb.
Add '一下' for natural flow
Instead of just saying `拉伸`, say `拉伸一下`. It sounds much more like a native speaker describing a quick action.
The 'Tendon' Secret
If you hear older people say `拉筋` (lā jīn), they mean the same thing. They believe stretching tendons is the key to youth!
Not for clothes!
If your sweater is too small, don't use `拉伸` to describe making it bigger. Use `撑大` instead.
