5 Benefits of Proper Stretching
As an athlete, stretching is a crucial part of your training since it affects greatly your performance. According to a 2004 study published in the ‘clinical journal of sports medicine’ regular stretching improves force, jump, height and speed. Stretching also promotes optimal joint function boosting your athletic performance. Stretching comes in two phases, after training and before training.
