In terms of work/benefit tradeoff stretching rocks
I am in college studying sports medicine… Stretching when the muscles are ‘cold’ will trigger the muscle spindles to contract the muscle fibers, thus shortening the muscles… Stretching can be done after a 10 minute warm up, but it does not make much difference in athletic performance… Like previously stated; stretch after exercise to improve flexibility.
Wow really? Ive never heard that before. What makes you think so?
What the hell is that suppose to mean??
wow. U just shit out of your mouth dumbass.
Stretching BEFORE a ride is the second easiest way to get your self injured, behind a crash… When you stretch before a ride, you are actually tightening them for your ride, instead of the commonly thought, “loosening” them… If you want to increase your overall flexibility, and therefore preventing injuries, the absolute best time to do it is after a ride or other type of workout!
