Passive stretching and Dynamic warmups.
- differentiate the two. Which is best?
Before we differentiate the two, let define each term first.
Passive Stretching - In a passive stretching technique, you are at ease and don't add
to the range of motion. However, force is produced manually or mechanically by an
outside agent. Stretching aids that you can use include a towel, band, gravity, or
another person. When your muscles are stiff or right after a workout, try this stretch.
Dynamic Warm-up - Before engaging in physical exercise, one should do a vigorous
warm-up. It seeks to boost the body's available flexibility, enhance blood flow to the
muscles, promote functional mobility, and get the body ready for exercise.
The main difference of the two terms is on how they are done. Both have benefits
for they are needed to be done before exercises. This two differ from each other also
because of their purpose. Stretching as the name implies, stretch the muscles for our
muscles might be stiff while we don’t do things. While for the Warm-up as the name
implies, its warm-ups the muscles to make our it ready for doing exercises. But for the
best, you need to do dynamic warm-ups. Dynamic warm-ups might involve stretching
because of the different movements of it. For example, lunges stretch the hamstring of
your leg, at the same time moves your whole body. It is like doing two tasks with only
one task. Therefore, dynamic warm-up is best for you to do before exercise.
Give 5 examples of dynamic warmups for your body to be ready you need to do
the exercise.
1. Lunges and Twist – This involves the stretching of legs and hips. Good for light
warm – up before doing running exercises or other exercises that involves the
use of legs.
2. Hip Circles – This involves circling of hips, which helps to ease pains in hips
before exercise. This can be a light warm-up for those who will do stationary
exercises.
3. Jumping Jacks – This involves jumping in and out for legs and arms to stretch.
This is a medium to high warm-up because it involves the whole body. Good for
overall warm-up of the body.
4. Mountain Climber – This involves stationary mountain climbing like steps. This
is good for heavy warm-up for legs and upper torso. This can also warm-up your
abdominal muscles which can be done before doing abs exercises.
5. Squats – This involves squatting as the name implies. It is good for light to
medium warm-up for the legs. Can be done before doing running exercises to
warm-up the legs.
