And now, 15 years later, I still believe them. 

I have talked to people, particularly avid lifters, who do not believe it is important to stretch, much less warm up, before an exercise. They think it takes away from the workout because it uses up some of the energy needed for lifting heavier. I am here to say that does not have to be the case. A short warm up and a few quick stretches can save a lot of pain and recovery time. 

On the flip side, I have talked to and trained a few individuals that rarely exercise. These were people that work a lot on their feet constantly moving around. Throughout the group there was a consistent complaint of lower back pain among other things. Rather than assuming it was an actual back injury, I suggested that the long hours on their feet and lack of stretching leads to very tight hamstring muscles. So we stretched legs and back very thoroughly and, just like that, much of the pain was relieved. 

They were astounded that simple stretches could relieve so much pain. 

Stretching won't fix everything--especially not a prior injury that requires surgery or intensive therapy. But it does relieve a lot of stress on the body. The muscular and skeletal systems are very intertwined, each greatly affecting the other. Tight muscles from the hamstrings can pull on the back causing pain. 

Stretching before athletic events is just as important as stretching before lifting or cardio, and even more so. Athletics often demand more from the body and in different ways than the actions of everyday life. 

As a volleyball coach, I have all of my teams stretch thoroughly in dynamic and static ways. Getting them loosened up and ready to play is the first part of every practice, match, and tournament.

 This article gives great stretches for volleyball specific muscles. It is important to stretch each of these muscle groups thoroughly as the game places the most demand on them:

Even though these stretches are geared toward volleyball players, they can be used by anyone and everyone to loosen up. 

Just remember: Never stretch cold muscles. It is important to warm them up first with a quick jog, jump rope, or jumping jacks so the muscles are prepared to move and be lengthened. 

Stretching for just 5-10 minutes before a workout or athletic event can mean a world of difference in performance, injury prevention, and relieving aches and pains.
