When would one use dynamic flexibility movements?

Dynamic flexibility movements are particularly beneficial as part of a sport-specific warm-up because they actively engage the muscles and joints in a manner similar to the actions that will be performed during the sport or activity. This type of stretching involves controlled movements that take your muscles through their full range of motion, which can enhance performance and reduce the risk of injury when engaging in athletic activities.

Incorporating dynamic flexibility into a warm-up helps increase blood flow, improve neuromuscular coordination, and prepare both the muscles and nervous system for the demands of higher intensity exercise or specific movements required in a sport. This tailored approach ensures that the body is primed for action, making it crucial for athletes or individuals preparing for physical activity.
