Studies have found that a regular stretching program may actually enhance performance, making people stronger and increasing their endurance. One study out of LSU showed that stretching did more than just increase range of motion but actually increased athletic performance, with some participants having quite measurable improvements.
Some believe that stretching affects muscles in a similar way as strength-training but on a smaller scale, activating some of the same things in the cell that exercise activates.
The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) advocates stretching, which it recognizes can help keep people flexible, improve posture and allow them to avoid some injuries and other aches and pains
