Physical therapists commenting on stretching as well as Scientific studies have shown regular stretching routines enable the body’s muscle remodeling response, which optimizes the body’s reaction to exercise. By stretching routinely, our bodies adapt to activity by changing muscle structure, metabolism, and physiology. Stretching has been shown in studies to provide connective tissue strengthening, range of motion improvement, joint alignment, and improved blood flow. This means muscle recovery after exercise shortens with regular stretching because muscles have been “remodeled” to adapt more easily to the stress of activity on a regular basis. That is why elite athletes are less prone to soreness, because they muscles are conditioned for extensions, retractions, and explosive motions due to constant training. The reasoning here is that everyone needs to stretch...see the American Council on Exercise's 10 reasons why you should stretch.
