I'll ask Zenadine Zidan (Real Madrid coach) about worm up/stretching of football players  ;)

If it works for you and feel it makes a difference, then do it. If not, don’t waste your time. I personally can tell my lower back hurts more when the hammys are tight.

Does stretching really prevent injury? I recently read there is no correlation between stretching and injury prevention.

I mean, a lion does not warm up before it attacks on a deer or wilderbeest.

You are an insufferable twatling.

Chest, shoulder and hips are critical if you’re in the game long enough.  If you neglect working on mobility in these areas, it’s only a matter if time until problems rear their ugly head.

I could definitely see hips and shoulders being important to warm up.

I do not routinely stretch, as I find it boring.

Maybe I’ll have to include it into my training regimen.

as a hard core yogi - my answer is yes

hot yoga has been a total game changer for me - biggest health, mind and solid gains made (not size but body control, abs, trimmed up)

I really upped the cardio the last couple of years and found foam rolling has helped with my hips, lower back and completely alleviated sciatica.

Stretching has also helped with my lumbar issues.

If someone cant touch their toe's, that's a problem. If someone can bend in half and blow them-self, also a problem.

People over think and over do things.

Do what you want, and what feels good (like blowing yourself), but being flexible as you age is better than being a stiff board.

You're not a lion, you're a human being. There's various types of stretching appropriate for certain situations. There's static and dynamic stretching for instance. If you lift or you're a bodybuilder stretching should be apart of your arsenal. Not just for injury prevention but for, ROM and aesthetic reasons as well.

I stretch so much more now than in my youth but flexibility is something that diminishes quickly.

As a whole, it’s overrated, but, if you have tight muscles, as I do, a little bit does help keep you from getting overly tight and pulling things.

The entire routine should take a few minutes. Stretching for an hour is idiotic and will probably get you hurt more than it will help.
