Flexibility and injury prevention

[Buffy Beffy]

Flexibility is an often neglected aspect of athletic conditioning. A lack of flexibility in an athlete is associated with musculoskeletal injury and low back problems, showing why stretching is great for injury prevention. Increased mucle and joint flexibility has a positive effect on muscular power. It can make one feel like they can 'put more out,'(and as an athlete, mind power is huge.)
Stretching:
frequency: daily; intesity: to a position of mild discomfort; duration: 10-30 secondsd each stretch; repititions: 2-6.
