Did people in the middle age stretch?

I mean, did a knight think "I should stretch before this fight so I'm more flexible and I don't hurt my muscles"?

Just wondered about it while I took a jog yesterday and thought it couldn't hurt to ask.

Can we extend this and ask about medieval fitness practice in general?
