It was common belief that stretching prevented injury in sport, but this may not be so. A study of 361 reports on the subject were reviewed and the Centres For Disease Control and Prevention found no evidence to support this claim.
Instead, warm up by doing that sport activity or exercise slowly at first and build intensity. Pick up the pace and then slow down at the end to cool down.
