Static stretching is the worst stretching to do before playing games. In high school, and students are playing games such as basketball and volleyball, should we teach proper dynamic warm ups to prevent injury?

All warm-ups should begin with some type of static stretching just to loosen the muscles. But, after a few minutes of that it should be switched to dynamic stretching. As a colliegate athlete I can honestly say that dynamic stretching is more beneficial than any other type of stretching.

I feel that you should get the heart rate up before any type of stretching is done. Then I start w/ dynamic stretching and move to static if you are still tight.

Lara, you are coming up with a great question. In terms of performance, dynamic stretching is essential. According to research, static stretching relaxes the muscles, and does not get them ready to perform. It has been recommended that if static stretching is used before competition, it needs to be done an hour before, so the muscles are not very relaxed right before competition.

Static stretching is great do not get me wrong. Most teams use static stretching at the end of practice or as a flexibility training.

If your goal is to prevent injuries and not performance, then static stretching will be fine at the begining of class right after some jogging
