Stretching doesn't reduce risk of exercise injury: study
2002
Overview
In all five, the subjects reported that stretching did very little to reduce muscle soreness. As for reducing injuries, the two studies on the soldiers in training show that stretching did not do much good. Dr. Thomas Best, a Canadian scientist and sports-medicine physician at the University of Wisconsin, has performed dozens of experiments stretching rabbits in his lab. (The rabbits are euthanized before he stretches their hamstrings in a machine.) He did the research with rabbits because he was interested in discovering what types of stretching might prevent specific injuries. He found that rabbits' muscles do not get longer and that they gain no other measurable benefits from stretching.
