Myth-Busting Monday: Infomercial Style 📼✨
Believe it or not, prolonged static stretching—holding stretches for 30+ seconds—immediately before sports does not reliably reduce injury risk and can instead temporarily decrease strength, power, speed, and explosiveness.
Instead, try dynamic stretching! Dynamic stretches get your body ready to move by increasing your heart rate, warming your muscles, improving blood flow, and activating your nervous system. This helps improve agility, power, and mobility 💪🏻⭐️
