Dynamic stretching is a form of stretching that involves active movements of the muscles and joints to increase flexibility, improve mobility, and warm up the body before physical activity. Unlike static stretching, which involves holding a stretch, dynamic stretching involves movement that gradually increases the reach, speed, or intensity of the stretch.

Dynamic stretches include exercises like leg swings, arm circles, and walking lunges, and are commonly used before exercise or sports activities to prepare the body for movement. This type of stretching helps increase blood flow to muscles, enhance joint mobility, and improve performance by activating muscle groups.

Dynamic stretching is effective for warming up, reducing muscle stiffness, and preventing injuries by improving flexibility and coordination before physical exertion.
