What does dynamic stretching primarily aim to improve?

Dynamic stretching primarily aims to improve range of motion and flexibility. This type of stretching involves moving parts of the body through a full range of motion and is often incorporated into warm-up routines before physical activity. Unlike static stretching, which involves holding a stretch in a fixed position, dynamic stretching engages the muscles and increases blood flow, helping to prepare the body for more intense movement. By enhancing flexibility and range of motion, dynamic stretching can contribute to better overall performance in various physical activities and reduce the risk of injury.

This focus on both flexibility and range of motion is critical for athletic performance and functional movement, making it an essential aspect of pre-exercise routines.
