LIMBERING up does not prevent muscle soreness or reduce the risk of
injury, according to scientists. Studies have shown that stretching
before and after exercise will prevent only one injury every 23 years.
Stretching may only reduce muscle soreness by 2 per cent. The review of
five studies, involving 77 subjects, was published this week in the
British Medical Journal.
This is a bit of a shocker.
Stretching will be a regular theme on this blog.
Let's see if everyone else agrees.
