Stretching May Not Prevent Jogging Injuries

Researchers debunked a myth about how important we think stretching before jogging is. Millions of joggers around the world stretch before going for a jog. It is a                          (DAY) ritual in parks and streets everywhere. Researchers from La Trobe University in Australia say there is no evidence to show stretching improves running                          (PERFORM) or decreases the risk of injuries. They say there is evidence that stretching can help keep ankle, knee and hip joints flexible, but it won't keep injuries at bay.

                         (RESEARCH) James Alexander conducted the research after talking about stretching with                          (ACT) joggers. He is an avid jogger and he realizes the benefi ts of stretching. He told the Reuters news agency that: “Runners have... beliefs around running injury risks... that are in contrast to current research evidence.” He said these beliefs make runners follow “                         (EFFECTIVE) or non-optimal strategies” when training to prevent injuries. He suggested a 5–10-minute session of walking or light jogging as the best warm-up.
