Dynamic Warmup
Dynamic warmup uses movement drills to raise temperature and prepare patterns before hard training—preferred over static stretch immediately pre-performance.
Dynamic warmup uses moving drills—leg swings, skips, band work, light plyometrics—to raise heart rate, muscle temperature, and coordination before intense effort. It outperforms static stretching immediately pre-sprint or heavy lift for power output in research.
Keep it specific: runners drill strides; lifters groove patterns with empty bar.
Common questions
-
How long should a dynamic warmup take?
Eight to fifteen minutes for most sessions—longer in cold weather or before max efforts. Stop when you feel warm and movement feels crisp.
