Nice resource on stretching. even the benefits of stretching is pretty comprehensive: * enhanced physical fitness * enhanced ability to learn and perform skilled movements * increased mental and physical relaxation * enhanced development of body awareness * reduced risk of injury to joints, muscles, and tendons * reduced muscular soreness * reduced muscular tension * increased suppleness due to stimulation of the production of chemicals which lubricate connective tissues (see section Connective Tissue) * reduced severity of painful menstruation (dysmenorrhea) in females
