As we reported a few months ago, an article published in The Physician and Sportsmedicine cast serious doubts about the worth of pre-workout stretching. According to the study—a comprehensive review of the scientific literature—stretching before exercise neither does a very good job at warming up your muscles nor reducing the risk for injury. “If injury prevention is the primary objective and the range of motion necessary for an activity is not extreme, the evidence suggests that athletes should drop the stretching before exercise and increase their warm-up time,” the authors write.
