This article is from the Stretching FAQ, by Brad Appleton Brad_Appleton@ivhs.mot.com with numerous contributions by others.
The stretching phase of your warmup should consist of two parts:
1. static stretching
2. dynamic stretching
It is important that static stretches be performed *before* any dynamic
stretches in your warm-up. Dynamic stretching can often result in
overstretching, which damages the muscles (See "4.12.3 - Overstretching").
Performing static stretches first will help reduce this risk of injury.
