Should You REALLY Stretch After a Workout? (What Science Says)

🤔 Should You Stretch After a Workout? Science Says… Maybe Not.

You’ve been told that stretching after a workout helps with muscle soreness and prevents injuries. But studies say otherwise.

📊 What the research shows:
– Stretching doesn’t reduce soreness. Little to no benefit found.
– It won’t prevent injuries. Dynamic mobility is more effective.

The best time to stretch? After your workout—but only if flexibility is your goal.

✅ For better recovery & injury prevention:
– Use active recovery for muscle repair
– Prioritize dynamic mobility over static stretching
– Do a proper warm-up before workouts
