Stretching before running can warm up the muscles and loosen the joints, which can reduce the risk of injury and improve performance.
When it comes to preparing for a run, studies suggest that warming up with dynamic stretches can improve power and performance.
Static stretches are the "hold and stretch" variety, which involve holding a position for 5–10 seconds.
Dynamic stretches are active exercises developed to improve the range of motion. They also raise the temperature of the muscles and improve blood flow.
In this article, we look at six essential stretches to do before a run. We also describe which exercises are ineffective and discuss the do's and don'ts of stretching.
