Maybe clinical research evidence is showing what the article states.
Nevertheless, in the mainstream of a move towards more evidence-based
medicine, things could be seen otherwise.
Mine as well as others' day-to-day experience (and evidence) is that
stretching does work -e.g. in golf. Authors can insert in their articles a
lot of beautiful graphics. Life is nevertheless more evident than graphics
and laboratories. Despite lab evidence, coffee helps me a lot in sleeping
well, for instance.
But we ought in the future, perhaps, believe what we read - not what
we experience ourselves.

Re: Music to my ears
I thought we were speaking the same language. There is a confusion : Warm-up vs. stretching! (Very) different things, though. Please, be more accurate in responding, even if it is a matter of "rapid" responses.
Again, stretching pays. (Perhaps some authority could give to all of us a good definition of both
terms...)

Rapid Response:
What is evidence?
