Myth #5

Stretching prevents injuries.

Maybe if you're a figure skater. Researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reviewed more than 350 studies and articles examining the relationship between stretching and injuries and concluded that stretching during a warmup has little effect on injury prevention.

I always need to stretch. Otherwise i`ll pull a muscle, usually my chest, shoulder, or legs.
