The old statement that says warming up will reduce the risk
of injury is under fire. Warming
up such as stretching will definitely increase an athlete’s range of motion and
may psychologically make the athlete feel better, yet nothing suggests it
decreases the risk of injuries.
Stretching may also reduce the level of soreness experienced by the
athlete by making the muscle’s surrounding connective tissue more elastic, but
as far as reducing injury is concerned, stretching has no current benefits.
