Abstract: In this article, we tried to lead a way to revitalise the body after long hours of working (especially in fixed kept postures), to increase its resistance for sustained effort and defence against illness, as is the case of the personnel from militay vessels. As they can be often far from shore, developing missions, it is important for them to learn to confront and manage by themselves the various physical symptomps, in order to implement the control of their own state of health. As a paradox or an exception, military personnel can develop both physical maximum intensity activity and be sedentary in 24 hours and that is at least said. If the situation and/or the orders request, 24 hours could multiply as long as is necessary for their duty to be done. This presentation contains a set of stretching exercises that can be effective in combating the fixed long hours maintained postures symptomps, especially articular pain and stiffness, and in increasing muscle endurance and strength. Conclusions. The proposed physical exercises eliminates the muscular and articular functional blockage and decreases/prevents the evolution of the inflammation-pain-disfunction pathological chain.
