(HealthDay News) — Flexibility helps prevent injury. Young athletes should stretch muscles before and after playing a sport, says the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.
After warming up with a brisk walk, the AAOS suggests these stretches:

• • Forward and side lunges.
  • Standing quad pull.
  • Seated straddle.
  • Knees to chest.
