Moji Overview:
Gretchen Reynolds of The New York Times discusses research conducted by physiologists at Nebraska Wesleyan University. The study analyzed distance’s runners’ hamstring flexibility in relation to running economy. The more inflexible runners had a higher running economy than their flexible counterparts, indicating a strong negative correlation between flexibility and runners’ efficiency. The study does not conclude that stretching is bad for runners but rather suggests that it may not be necessar y from a performance standpoint.
