Answer:

It lowers your strength.

Step-by-step explanation:

Scientists have found that explosive muscular performance also drops off significantly, by as much as 2.8 percent when stretching. So basically if you stretch you’re lowering your strength and performance.

What does stretching do for you?
Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints. Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way.




Hope this helped
