Abstract des Autors

Although stretching exercises can prevent muscle injuries and enhance athleticperformance, they can also cause injury. The author explains the four most common types of stretching exercises and explains why he considers static stretching the safest. He also sets up a stretching routine for runners. In setting up a safe stretching program, one should (1) precede stretching exercises with a mild warm-up; (2) use static stretching; (3) stretch before and after a workout; (4) begin with mild and proceed to moderate exercises; (5) alternate exercises for muscle groups; (6) stretch gently and slowly untiltightness, not pain, is felt; and (7) hold the position for 30 to 60 seconds.
