Updated: March, 2025

Stretching is often perceived as a critical component of physical fitness, particularly in sports and exercise contexts. However, the necessity of stretching for children is debated among researchers and practitioners in physical education and sports science. It is essential to understand that children, unlike adults, have unique physiological characteristics that influence their flexibility and the need for stretching exercises.


ROLE OF TENDONS & LIGAMENTS

Stretching is not solely related to muscles; tendons and ligaments play a significant role in overall flexibility and joint health. Both structures can benefit from stretching, as it helps maintain their elasticity and function. Developing these connective tissues in children is crucial for preventing injuries, especially in active sports.


STRETCHING & ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE

While some argue that stretching does not significantly enhance athletic performance, it is essential to recognize that flexibility contributes to overall movement efficiency. For young athletes, a balanced approach that includes flexibility training can improve performance in sports that require a wide range of motion, such as soccer and gymnastics.

 

It is advisable for parents and educators to encourage children to participate in activities that naturally incorporate stretching, such as dance, gymnastics, and martial arts. These activities promote flexibility and enhance coordination and balance, vital for overall physical development. While children may not require traditional stretching routines like adults, incorporating flexibility training into their physical activities is beneficial. It supports muscle and connective tissue development, enhances athletic performance, and improves psychological well-being.
