Flexibility - Dynamic Stretching

-- use during warmup only
-- improve multiplanar soft tissue extensibilty
-- neuromuscular control thru full ROM
-- movement occurs in all 3 planes. Note that injuries occur most often in Transverse Plane
-- use force production of a muscle and body's momentum to take a joint thru the full available ROM
-- need good levels of tissue extensibility, core stability and balance
-- Functional flexibility

Dynamic Stretching Examples:

  • Prisoner Squat
  • Multiplanar Lunge with Reach
  • Single Leg Squat Touchdown
  • Tube Walking side to side
  • Medicine Ball Lift and Chop
