WARM-UP AND STRETCHING: MODIFYING YOUR APPROACH
Although most research supports the use of stretching exercises before a workout or game, there is conflicting evidence and a difference of opinion and practice in several key areas such as what technique to use, when to stretch, what to emphasize when you stretch, and how long to stretch. In some cases, different techniques appear to be equally effective. In others, there is a need to consider a slightly different approach.
