Is Stretching worth prioritizing?

Meta-analyses consistently and robustly confirm that both acute and chronic stretching improve range of motion and flexibility, with recent meta-regressions clarifying optimal dosing and the underlying neuromuscular and mechanical mechanisms. Weighing that against the numbers, Stretching is not a priority based on current data — the evidence is only moderate (65/100), and its estimated impact (28/100) is on the lower end too.
