When I was taking Exercise Physiology classes in college, many years ago, we were always taught to stretch before, and after workouts to prevent the chance of injury, and also decrease the possibility of soreness.
For many years, this was the standard. Therefore, I have always advocated stretching. Of course, I was always interested in decreasing the change of injury, but my other main goal was to increase clients’ flexibility.
Sounds good so far, right? Stretching is awesome!
Not so fast. What all the experts originally thought about injury prevention, and decreasing soreness may be completely wrong.
