What is the benefit of a Dynamic Warm-up as opposed to Static Stretching?
A Dynamic Warm-up is designed to mentally and physically prepare the individual for exercise. It is scientifically proven that Static Stretching at the beginning of the workout actually hinders a person’s performance during a workout. Muscle’s contractile proteins Actin and Myosin become too elongated. This affects what is called its resting potential causing contractile proteins not fire properly and cause ineffective movement patterns. With a Dynamic Warm-up you are warming up the individual’s body temperature, activating the Central Nervous System, which activates Skeletal Muscle prior to the workout, which is much more effective.
