From everything i\'ve read thus far, and this is the theory i perscribe too, it is the constant compression-recompressiono that stresses the spring, not leaving it in any one position.
Someone mentioned the paper clip example. You know how when you bend a paper clip once, it tends to be ok for however long you leave it alone? But as soon as you keep bending it back and forth paper clip will break. Same thing with springs
