I have heard people say it's better to stretch before workout and others say it is better to stretch during/after workouts.
I have also heard people say stretching before is a good way to hurt yourself.
I have always believed stretching before workout is better and have swum better.
I wanted to get your feedback and links if any supporting your views.
Thanks
I'm not a big fan of stretching, before, during or after a workout, but I find a good warmup to the very helpful. When I swim, I start with a long warmup. When I lift, I start with sets of very light weights, (or only body weight for exercises such as squats) and do lots of reps, like 100. I believe this helps prevent injuries. I find stretching helpful if I am stiff from sitting in too many long meetings.
