gollark: It does say to do warm-ups. Just that stretching isn't an effective one. I will have to investigate further or something.
gollark: I see.
gollark: I found the thing I read in my browser history (https://www.painscience.com/articles/stretching.php), and it says that stretching hasn't been found to reduce injury risk, and might just make the brain happier with using more range of motion without actually changing the muscles.
gollark: Does it actually do that?
gollark: You do get more flexibility but that doesn't seem very useful in most circumstances unless you're lacking it a lot.
