How Necessary Is Stretching?
from
The New York Times
Share
NATA has notified the source of this article to offer thanks for publicizing this research and to inform that athletic trainers should be consulted before active adults and children begin exercise or stretching programs.
For
years, flexibility has been widely considered a cornerstone of health and fitness. Many of us stretch before or after every workout and fret if we can’t lean over and touch our toes. We gape enviously at yogis wrapping their legs around their ears. "It’s been drummed into people that they should stretch, stretch, stretch -- that they have to be flexible," says Dr. Duane Knudson, professor of biomechanics at Texas State University in San Marcos, who has extensively studied flexibility and
muscle response. "But there’s not much scientific support for that."

Practice of Sports Imaging Changes
from
Post-Bulletin
Share
Not too long ago, if an athlete had a phantom pain in the wrist, it was often hard to get an accurate diagnosis. But during
the past few years, a Mayo Clinic physician in Rochester has helped to change the practice of musculoskeletal ultrasound imaging. "We use sound waves to see into the body -- tendons, ligaments, muscles and nerves. It's only been in the past five/ten years that we have the ability to see through the skin. You can point to where it hurts and we can see what's right under there," said Dr. Jay Smith of Mayo's Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.
