Welcome to The Stretching Trial

One of the main findings was that stretching does not reduce the overall risk of injury. It did, however, slightly reduce the risk of specific kinds of injury (injuries to muscles, ligaments and tendons). The other main finding was that stretching slightly reduces the risk of experiencing soreness.

A detailed technical report is published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. We will provide a more detailed description of the study findings and the full technical report at www.thegeorgeinstitute.org.
