The History of Stretching for Endurance Performance | Science

In today's video, we discuss the scientific evidence surrounding static and dynamic stretching during the warm-up before endurance running. Therefore, the discussion and data do not relate to the long-term effects of stretching. As such, a future video discussing the longitudinal effects of stretching on endurance performance will be pursued.
