Very simple. Stretching increases blood flow to muscles that are about to be used. By increasing blood flow, you are also warming the muscles and tendons. This added warmth makes the muscles more pliable and will help prevent injury. The key is to break a sweat, whether its by jumping rope, jogging, or doing light drills that replicate the activity you are about to do.
