Dynamic VS Static stretching

What is it?

Dynamic stretching is a strategy used to improve mobility while moving through a range-of- motion, often we use movements similar to the activity or sport that is going to be performed. 

Static stretching is holding a stretch without movement, usually only at the end-range of a muscle.

Which one is better?

Opt for dynamic stretching at the beginning of your work out, use 5-10 stretches and 3 sets.

Static stretches should be performed at the end of your session, hold the stretch for 30-45 sec and finish 2 sets.

As always, please consult with your doctor before engaging into any activity for the first time or if you are suffering from a chronic disease/ recovering from an injury.

Sports Medicine

Sports medicine is a branch of medicine that focuses on preventing, diagnose and treat sports related injuries.

Sports medicine focuses on helping people improve their athletic performance, recover from injury and prevent future injuries. It is a fast-growing health care field, because health workers who specialize in sports medicine help all kinds of people, not just athletes.

These include exercise prescriptions together with injury prevention and conditioning for recreational or professional athletes. We also treat sports related disorders with various conservative or surgical interventions
