: Brief History of Stretching

 Ancient Practices: Yoga (India), martial arts (Asia), and


athletic training in Ancient Greece all involved early forms of
stretching.
 1970s–80s: Static stretching became the go-to warm-up for
sports.
 1990s–Present: Research began to support dynamic warm-ups
as better for performance and injury prevention.
 Today: Balanced use of dynamic (before) and static (after) is
standard in sports and fitness.

Lesson Objectives

 Understand what dynamic and static exercises are


 Learn the differences between them
 Explore the history and science behind their use
 Discover when and how to use them effectively

What Are Dynamic Exercises?

 Definition: Active movements that take joints through full


range of motion
 Purpose: Warm up the body, increase blood flow
 Examples:
o High knees
o Arm circles
o Jumping jacks
o Walking lunges
What Are Static Exercises?

 Definition: Stretching where a position is held without


movement
 Purpose: Cool down the body, improve flexibility
 Examples:
o Hamstring stretch
o Butterfly stretch
o Triceps stretch
o Shoulder stretch

Dynamic vs. Static – Key Differences

Feature Dynamic Static


Movement Yes No
Purpose Warm-up Cool-down
Duration Short bursts (5–20 sec) Held (15–60 sec)
Timing Before exercise After exercise
Effect Activates muscles Relaxes muscles

Benefits of Dynamic Exercises

 Warms up muscles and joints


 Increases heart rate and blood flow
 Improves mobility and coordination
 Prepares body for physical performance
 Reduces injury risk when done before workouts

Benefits of Static Exercises

 Increases muscle flexibility


 Reduces muscle soreness
 Enhances range of motion over time
 Helps the body cool down
 Supports relaxation and recovery
Scientific Support

 Studies show static stretching before exercise can reduce


strength and performance temporarily.
 Dynamic warm-ups improve performance in sports, especially
in sprinting and jumping.
 Static stretching after workouts aids recovery and long-term
flexibility.
