Does stretching prevent injury?
Not reliably. Stretching before exercise has not been shown to prevent injury, and long static stretches right before heavy lifting can slightly reduce performance. A proper warm-up and gradual progression protect you better.
Stretching still helps with flexibility and can feel good. It is most useful as a separate session or after training.
