| - Dynamic stretching activates circulation of the blood, raises the core temperature, muscle temperature, elongates the muscles, stimulates the nervous system, lubricates the joints, helps decrease the chance of injury, and has been shown to reduce muscle tightness. Muscle tightness is one factor associated with an increase occurrence of musculotendinous tears. Dynamic stretching uses speed of movement, momentum and active muscular effort to bring about a stretch . Unlike static stretching the end position is not held, and recent scientific studies suggest that dynamic stretches before competition are preferable to static stretches. This is because there are two kinds of stretch receptors, one which measures magnitude and speed and the other measures magnitude only. Static flexibility improves static flexibility and dynamic flexibility improves dynamic flexibility which is why it doesn’t make sense to static stretch prior to dynamic activity. Another reason is that there are few sports where achieving static flexibility is advantageous to success in the sport. According to the principle of specificity it would seem to be more advantageous to perform a dynamic warm-up which more resembles the activity of the sport. It should be noted that while it increases the range of motion of the joints, it does not promote as much flexibility as static stretching or PNF. This is why it is advisable for athletes to perform static stretching or PNF early on in the training plan to build the flexibility firsthand, but rely on dynamic stretching prior to competition. One study compared a team that dynamically stretched to a team that static stretched. The team that dynamically stretched had fewer injuries. Typical dynamic stretches include hip, knee, arm, and ankle circles, walking lunges, high knees, etc.
- Dynamic stretching is a form of stretching beneficial in sports utilizing momentum from form, static-active stretching strength and the momentum from static-active stretching strength, in an effort to propel the muscle into an extended range of motion not exceeding one's static-passive stretching ability. Anything beyond this range of motion becomes ballistic stretching. It is a type of stretching while moving. This form of stretching prepares the body for physical exertion and sports performance. In the past it was the practice to undertake static stretching before exercise. Dynamic stretching increases range of movement, blood and oxygen flow to soft tissues prior to exertion. Increasingly coaches and sports trainers are aware of the role in dynamic stretching in improving performance and reducing the risk of injury.
