dynamic stretching
Active pre-exercise limbering
Dynamic stretching is a warm-up technique that moves muscles and joints through their full range of motion rather than holding positions.
Unlike static stretching, which involves sustained poses, dynamic stretching uses controlled, repetitive movements—leg swings, arm circles, walking lunges—to prepare the body for activity: The coach led us through dynamic stretching before practice.
