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 have yet to see any proof that stretching is of any value whatsoever. People who tell me I need to stretch tell me this because they passed a one hour personal trainer test. When I press them they say, "because you have to stretch."
I do exclude yoga from my belief as yoga, to me, is a sport unto itself with goals and advancement so obviously being flexible assists you as you progress. I also think yoga is a cult, perpetuated by flaxative eating sweaty crystal deodorant wearing hippies in hemp costumes, but that's a side point.
I think until there is definitive proof on stretching I plan to remain as inflexible as humanly possible.
