Why is so important to not only stretch before excersising, but also after?


Question:
Please tell me why exactly stretching after I train or exercise is very important

Answers:
Its always better to stretch before and after doing any vigorous exercise so that your body is prepared for it..If u dont stretch then u may end up getting sprains and aches all over your body..Always better to do some warm up before going for proper exercise..

Other Answers:
It has something to do with increasing blood flow to the muscles (I think). Usually, people cramp up after an intense workout, but stretching prevents that (not a very medical response, but best guess).

You stretch to prevent cramps.
After you workout your muscles are warmed up and stretch easier and better.
I'm in the army and I run alot so I know alittle bit about this, so..
