There is a very interesting article by R P Pope - "A randomised trial to determine whether pre-exercise stretching prevents injury" Proceedings of the 1996 National Physiotherapy Congress p193 ........ it seems that pre-exercise stretching doesn't reduce the risk of injury - it is more closely related to aerobic fitness ........ interesting!
