USATF stretch study: Get involved
Even though tons of studies have been done on pre-run stretching, results continue to be inconclusive. Does stretching first increase or decrease your risk of injury? What if you don't stretch first? Depending on which expert you ask, you're likely to get a different answer.USA Track and Field is conducting a very comprehensive stretch study that they hope will give the running world a definitive answer. Participation is open to anyone who is:
- 13 years old or older
- injury free for at least six weeks prior to start
- running at least 10 miles a week
- able to continue running for at least three months (the duration of the study)
- willing to commit to either stretching or not stretching, depending on which they are randomly assigned.
