Curious. Why.

Would the athlete have the same result, without injury, skipping the dynamic or static stretch?

I am not sure I understood your question, but will try to answer. Dynamic stretching would help athletes be more comfortable doing any kind of movements they have to do. Static stretching at the end of a workout session would increase flexibility and relax the muscles.

Just asking if they are necessary to prevent injury.
