Are there any research studies showing that stretching is a good thing?

Yes of course. And a lot, by the way. I had a topic on the physical culture on the topic “Mental development with yoga” together with https://researchpapers.io/do-my-research-paper-cheap/. And I considered there the whole section the useful and necessary properties of stretching for the physical condition of the body. And also, the negative effects in the absence of stretching during exercise

Hi Joe,

I just came across this article today and thought you may find it helpful. It is a blog, but it references some research studies that you can look up as well.

A lot of studies just google it. Unfortunately, I cannot post all the links here. Here’s one:

Hi Joe,
Research? Plenty. You’d have to google to find and look as recommended by Natialie above in the archives here. The big question being debated is what kind is best and how long it lasts (newest studies show 1 hour). There is plenty of research showing dynamic ROM drills/exercises are the ONLY type of stretching that MAY help prevent injury. Also that static stretching is best done after a workout or athletics, when muscles are warm. Plenty of research supporting fascia release and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF stretching).
That said: if working with a “hyperflexible” client, I’d forgo most stretching except for what is needed for that person’s thoracic spine and hips.

Best,
Kimber

It’s a question of goals and dosage. We each have a range of motion in our joints that is limited by our bone structure. Stretching is good for you to the extent that it helps preserve a normal, functional range of motion in the joints and hydrate your connective tissue.
