Dynamic stretching involves moving parts of the body through ranges of motion in a controlled manner, which warms up muscles and improves flexibility. It differs from static stretching, where stretches are held for an extended period without movement. Dynamic stretching is typically performed before workouts to prepare the body for physical activities, increasing blood flow and muscle temperature, which enhances performance and reduces injury risk. Examples include leg swings, arm circles, and torso twists. Incorporating dynamic stretching into warm-up routines promotes injury prevention and physiologic preparedness for exercise.
