Secondly, "stretching" has morphed over the years and decades. Today, when pro athletes refer to stretching, it's not the same stretching that you gramps did in the 50s, ok. Stretching today means to start out doing some activity to warm up the body, blood circulation, and muscles, while also incorporating in some traditional stretches.
Every pro athletes do this. Track athletes, runners, soccer players, they all do this on the fields before they actually go out and run hard.
Yet, you (oldies) are sitting here, are saying that you don't do stretching because it doesn't help. Well, you know it all, don't you? Meanwhile, in the real world, pro athletes all stretch.
And please, stop with trying to bring down the old ways of stretching (nobody does that anymore). You need to get updated with the modern sports science, amigo. This is not Leave It To Beaver era,ok.
Your completely vapid ad hominem is noted.
Your screen name is an injury. Maybe people shouldn't be looking to you for advice on how to prevent them, huh?
It's adorable that you think no one's going to notice that all you're doing here is try to redefine stretching so that everybody is doing it.
