We may not pay attention on how much time we spend looking at smartphone or tablet. According to Statista Research Department in 2021, users in the UK spent daily on average four hours on mobile devices.
   Undoubtedly for the majority of time, while we use our smartphone, we are not taking care of our posture. Often our chin is down towards our chest and the cervical spine is flexed forward. The amount time spent in this position is enough for making our upper back adapting, changing and often originating neck soreness, stiffness, pain, triggers tension headaches. 
What we can do for improving our posture:
1
Positioning the mobile device at eyes level.
2
Limiting our time using smartphone and tablet.
3
Taking frequent breaks every 5 minutes.
4
Gently stretching neck and mobilising arms and shoulders. 

Muscle can contract in three different ways: isometric, concentric and eccentric. In the last few years several studies found out that eccentric type of exercises for hamstrings are strengthening the muscle and reduce risk of injury in the footballer population.
