Should you stretch before or after exercise?
Depending on the type of exercise you are doing 🏀🏃👟 WHEN you stretch may have different effects on your performance
STATIC stretching (when you hold a stretch for a length of time) before exercise, can reduce performance, especially in explosive & quick movements. Tightness can help to produce better speed & agility, so if you are planning on sprinting, jumping or playing sport, DYNAMIC stretching (stretching with movement, like leg swings, arm circles etc) is a great way to warm up your mobility without hindering your performance
Static stretching still has its place however, it is an important way to improve your flexibility & help with muscle recovery. Save your long stretching for the end of your session when your muscles are nice and warm and enjoy the gentle cool down ☺️
Happy training fit fam! 💪😘
