What is Dynamic Stretching/Movement?
The short definition of dynamic stretching is “stretching
as you are moving”.
The momentum of a movement to complete its extension of
the muscle groups. Arm circles, leg raises with momentum
and walking lunges are all common examples of dynamic
stretching. A dynamic stretch takes a specific movement and
makes it a stretching activity, either by deliberate extension
of the limb and corresponding muscle groups, or through
other precise ranges of motion.
Strong Body Flow
Stretching is an important element of an exercise routine
because it prepares your body for the workout, improves
range of motion and flexibility and reduces the risk of injury.
Increased flexibility from stretching makes it easier to
perform daily activities while improving your range of motion
enhances your coordination and balance
Strong Body Flow
Dynamic stretching involves repeatedly performing
challenging stretches that do not force the muscle past a
comfortable range of motion.
Each movement in a dynamic stretch is controlled and
requires more coordination than static stretching due to
the repetitious motion. These rhythmical movements
are incorporated into the warm-up and through out the
routine.
Dynamic stretching should be smooth and intentional,
while gradually increasing the range of motion
