People say it and the seated quad stretch cause abnormal stress on the knees and hip. Over the course of 20 years of using both, my opinion is that they are avoided in P.E. classes, beginner athletics, and most sports because flexibility is so unrestrained by these groups that there is a small risk of injury.

Is the hurdle stretch bad for your knee?

This stretch has been known for over twenty years to cause undo stress on knees. I was astonished to see my son's 8th grade basketball team using this stretch this season and directed the coach to research this and stop using it, which they did. It puts great stress on the MCL and medial meniscus, and who needs that?
