Stretching Doesn't Just Prevent Injury, It Improves Physical Performance
To achieve maximum results, stretching is essential to any workout routine.
Stretching is about the most least exciting part of working out. It's time consuming, boring, and you don't get any immediate gratification or visible results out of it, as you do with strength training. Because of this, stretching often remains the forgotten part of workout routines, leading to sports injuries a lack of achievement of maximal results through strength training. Dedicating 5-10 minutes of your workout, morning, or night can make a big difference in your athletic performance and everyday life.
Studies of stretching have yielded mixed results, with some proving that stretching helps while others provide results that show no improvement in muscle soreness after stretching with exercise. Despite the studies that show no improvement, most clinicians agree that stretching improves athletic performance in some activities and decreases the risk of athletic based injuries. Below are some stretches that can prevent the most prevalent sports related muscle injuries.
