Hello,

I would be interested in reading the study on Yoga would you know what it is called? At least one study I have read shows that Yoga post work out can enhance recovery between repeated bouts of strenuous exercise.

Indeed, if pre-stretching has the action of inhibiting neuro-motor output to stabiliser muscles , I definitely see the potential to increase risk of injury.

Interestingly I wonder why they haven't re termed stretching , as Manusson et al. (1998) suggested that muscles viscoelastics do not in fact change, rather it is the neural adaptiveness that is needing to be considered - hence effectiveness of PNF.

DOMS appears to be elicited more frequently during High load Eccentric Exercise movements (ballistic, weight training etc.) that is true. I can imagine that if stretching is done before this it predisposes the joint to greater instability, but DOMS is one area that scientists are still having a hard time to figure out, and I have to admit it is something that I wish I could block out on a daily basis!
