There is now plenty of evidence to show that 'stretching before exercise is necessary to prevent injuries' is also a myth. Much research has been done on this issue but the take away I get is that stretching is good after exercise. https://www.acefitness.org/certifiednewsarticle/3056/ "The fact that authority figures (e.g., coaches and sports medicine doctors) have long advocated pre-exercise stretching for lowering injury risk is likely the reason it has been so widely accepted as standard practice. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, however, researchers began to more closely scrutinize the evidence supporting this practice. For example, a review of existing literature led one group of researchers to conclude that pre-exercise static stretching does not lower the risk of local muscle injury (Shrier, 1999). Similarly, another group of scientists (Pope et al., 2000) reported no significant reductions in the incidence of lower-limb injuries in people who stretched before exercise compared to those who performed no stretching. More recently, Witvrouw and colleagues (2004) concluded that pre-exercise stretching has no beneficial effect on injury prevention for activities such as cycling, jogging and swimming. Finally, in a current review (McHugh and Cosgrave, 2010), the general consensus was that stretching in addition to aerobic warm-up does not affect the incidence of overuse injuries."

Pulling the hair out of my head.....

The link you provided has nothing to do with what Bryan and I discussed. "Ah yes we have been all told that if it doesn’t hurt then you are not doing any good. It should say “If Pain, No Gain”, because if you do end up feeling pain you have done something wrong and may have damaged some of the tissues involved. The accepted norm following an exercise routine is that there might be some delayed onset muscle soreness but it shouldn’t last for more than 48 hours. Any pain that persists longer and is present during any physical activity should be looked at by a Physiotherapist or Sports Medicine doctor." http://www.kinatex.com/en/Kina-Infos/Sports-Medicine-myths-3.html "We’ve all heard the expression “No pain, No gain”, but it’s very important to distinguish the type of pain that you experience when you’re working out. Pain during and after a hard workout is typical and can even feel good (that’s “good pain”). Sharp or acute pains that prevent you from performing everyday activities are “bad pain”. A good rule of thumb here is that you should be working out to the point of discomfort, but never to the point of sudden pains." http://www.allmaxnutrition.com/post-articles/training/top-5-myths-for-bodybuilders/ "Exercise should never hurt, and it does not have to hurt to be effective. When we begin an exercise program we may experience some muscle soreness, but that is quite different from pain. Pain is an indicator that something is wrong and requires attention. Muscle soreness after exercise even has a name: DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness). This soreness comes from using improper exercise techniques and improperly applying the principles of training. It will go away after a few days. In fact, as their bodies become fitter and adapt to increasing intensity levels, many people feel only minor muscle soreness, or none at all." http://www.edu.gov.mb.ca/k12/cur/physhlth/frame_found_gr12/rm/5_fm.pdf "If “no pain, no gain” is your motto at the gym, you could be setting yourself up for serious injury. “People need to understand within their body what pain is,” said Williams. “There’s a difference between discomfort and pain.” And often times, pain is a symptom of more than a hard workout—it indicates an injury. Is there such a thing as a “good sore” during a workout? It’s possible, says Williams. For example, if you are working to build strength and endurance in your legs with a squat workout, you may experience some burning in your muscles during exercise. That burn is the lactic acid moving out of the muscles and the feeling should go away 30 seconds to one minute after you stop exercising. According to Williams, this is the only form of pain during a workout that is acceptable and sometimes even necessary. Long-lasting pain or soreness for days after a workout is unnecessary and can lead to overtraining and injury. “You don’t have to have pain to get results,” said Williams. Another misconception about pain during a workout is that if you experience pain during exercise, you simply need to work through it. What you really need to do is to rest those muscles, said Williams. “Resting is just as important as the workout itself, and is the only way to ensure your muscles are ready to go the next time you hit the gym.” http://www.cooperaerobics.com/Health-Tips/Fitness-Files/No-Pain,-No-Gain-Myth-or-Fact.aspx

I apologize for the thread drift. Some things are hard to resist

Your article dates back to 2004. I suggest you review more current studies.

No pain no gain is actually a myth. When someone experience pain it is a symptom of a muscle or something in the body exhibiting signs of stress or damage. This could happen to the brain if it tries to analyze and decipher ramblings that don't have focus.

A drop down list of worthy sources would be nice. Jk of course.

You are asking rational people to wrap their heads around this and ponder it? Why?

Betsy. Can you provide evidence of where this 'enthusiastic consent' is stated in the curriculum. I can't seem to find it. Also why is it radical? I'm trying to address your ramblings in this thread but am having a difficult time where to begin.

I would venture a guess that if this were proposed by a white Christian nutbar you would totally be on board with this.

Bryan. You seem to know quite a few deaf people, quite a few people from the lgbt community who have been transformed. Are you a confidant from God?

I agree, and I suspect JT has a handle on this. That's a complete positive thinking on my part though!

What about Canadians?

It wouldn't make sense in BC to push French immersion. It's more like Mandarin immersion.

It's truly amazing how religious people spin their words around and around.

You implied it's a sin in gods house. Why is it is what I'm asking?

Since Betsy won't answer I'll ask you Bryan. How does the LGBT community negatively affect society? I am assuming that your God ruled it a sin because.....

I'm asking you again Betsy. How does the LGBT community negatively affect society?

WTF are you talking about? One has nothing to do with the other.

Betsy, can you provide the link to that kinky website that was posted on the TSB? I can't find it anywhere.

How does the LGBT community negatively affect society?

There you go again. Discussing the LGBT community in the same paragraph as pedophiles.

Your homophobic stance and the rest of your other homophobic christians greatly impacts society. Why do you think we are challenging you? Further, would you like the school system to further bury our childrens and grandchildrens heads in the sand by not teaching sex-ed, or clinics offering confidential birth control services and education on STDs? After all, if we teach it to them, they may actually try and have sex. They are going to have sex anyway, whether it's with the same gender or not and whether or not sex-ed is taught in schools. Would it not make more sense to educate our children so they don't end up pregnant, bullied, confused, or with an STD?

Seriously? Why would you even ask this question?
