I read a great article last night "Too Many Athletes Warming Up the Wrong Way." The article backed up what we have been saying for years. Static Stretching is not a warmup!
The idea behind a warmup is simple, get your body ready for practice or competition. A dynamic warmup is much more effective at getting your body ready for performance.
This article found dynamic warmups increase a players jumping ability by 3% when static stretching decreases it by 8%. We know that the higher you jump, the faster you sprint and the faster you sprint, the faster you skate. So do something before your games that benefits you!
