Static Stretching

Posted on November 7, 2008 by Robin

It turns out that static stretching – holding a stretch for 20 + seconds – causes you to lose around 30% of your muscle power. It also doesn’t help limber you up and thereby help prevent injuries. Dynamic stretching – stretching your muscles whilst keeping them moving – is much much better: you don’t lose muscular power and can stretch them further afterwards, allthough the jury is out whether this helps prevent injuries.
