Reply to "stretching pitching arm"

Dynamic (taking a joint through various range of mation) warm-up should be done before practicing, training or playing. Static (hold a stretch)stretching should be done post-training, pratice or game.

However, be careful when making the trasition. If you have been stretching in a static manner for years do not just do dynamic movements tomorrow and cut off static comletely before training. The transition needs to be gradual.

It is true static stretching can lower power output and strength for a given period of time. But the real benefit of dyanmic movements is increasing joint temperature and stimulation the central nervous system (CNS). This greatly enhanced performance and decreases injury when done correctly.
