The significance of stretching in spring sports

As the weather gets warmer, spring sports will be moving outdoors for practices and games. With this transition comes the increased risk of injuries. Doctors are emphasizing the importance of pre-game warm-up, especially after months of being indoors.

It is crucial to stretch your entire body before engaging in physical activity, but if time is limited, focusing on stretching your legs is essential. Dr. Atul Kaushal, a physician and medical director with AmourCBD, recommends stretching before any physical activity to increase flexibility and prevent injuries. Professional athletes also prioritize stretching before games, highlighting its importance.

If you find yourself short on time before practice or a game, stretching after your workout can still provide benefits to your body. The warmth in your muscles after a workout can make stretching even more effective in preventing injuries. Remember to prioritize stretching as part of your regular routine to keep your body flexible and resilient.
