Research on Stretching, Charlie Weingroff – The Stretching Code

Product Description

Is Stretching Good? – Research on Stretching – Does Stretching Prevent Injuries?

There’s still a lot of confusion over when and how to stretch, and if we should even be stretching. What does it do, what doesn’t it do? After doing research on stretching, in this talk, Charlie Weingroff explains the science and gives us an idea of when, how and who should stretch.

“In the top five predictors of injury, it doesn’t mean stretching can’t be part of the solution. I think what the literature tells us in terms of injury prevention is this is a tool. We’re not talking about whether it’s good, bad or even how to apply it, but it has to fit in for a different reason. We’re not stretching everybody, because there’s no reason to believe everyone needs to stretch and there’s no reason to believe if everyone stretches, somehow injuries become less a part of the picture.” ~ Charlie Weingroff
