Abstract | Examines data from research on stretching as it relates to enhanced performance and injury prevention so that fitness, exercise, and sports performance professionals can make informed decisions about stretching programs for clients. The paper notes that stretching is a misunderstood component of fitness and sports training. Few studies show decreased injury after stretching, and most challenge long-held beliefs about the effect of stretching prior to exercise. (SM) |
