What is a potential benefit of dynamic stretching?

Dynamic stretching is designed to prepare the body for physical activity by mimicking the movements of the actual sport or exercise that will follow. One of the potential benefits of this type of stretching is that it increases blood flow to the muscles and enhances muscle readiness for the upcoming activity. When the muscles are warmed up through dynamic movements, they become more pliable and responsive, reducing the risk of injury.

Increased blood flow helps to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the muscles while also removing metabolic waste, which enhances overall performance. This prepares the cardiovascular system to meet the demands of exercise, leading to better endurance and effectiveness during physical activity. Additionally, dynamic stretching can improve the range of motion and overall performance by activating the muscles and joints involved in the upcoming activity.
