Comment on “Stretching intervention can prevent muscle injuries: a systematic review and meta-analysis”

We recently read with interest the work “Stretching intervention can prevent muscle injuries: a systematic review and meta-analysis” and appreciate the authors’ efforts [1].

Unfortunately, we identified problems with the review’s methodology that question the interpretation of the findings.
