“To stretch or not to stretch?” is this still a question in the year 2011?
Why is this still an issue in the fitness industry? Stretching what? muscle, connective tissue? I still wonder how many FT’s know why a muscle has tension and what happens to a muscle and its connective tissue when you “stretch” it? Did your certification include a study on Neurology? Love to hear your opinion?
We still discuss it all the time because of the evolving research! It doesn’t look like this topic will go away anytime soon. As Karin mentioned, they are in the baby years of researching the fascia which seems to be playing a big role. I find the best way to keep up with this knowledge is to follow research articles as they are published.
