Is this your own experience?
I have never had any problems because of stretching after running, it feels very good, it takes the tension out of my muscles, loosens them. I've met another runner, and we did that after running automatically. Rhythm: 20 secs, short pause and 20 secs again.
- rue 16y agoThe theory is that stretching after exercise worsens the muscular microdamage beyond what can be repaired during the normal recovery cycle.
- olaf 16y agoWhose theory is that? My source of information (book "Ernaehrung und Training" by Dr. W. Feil and Dr. T. Wessinghage [european champion over 5000m in 1982]) clearly states, that "stretching [immediately after sport] is the gate of regeneration".
