What is a recommended set and repetition range for dynamic stretching?

The recommended set and repetition range for dynamic stretching typically aligns with a lower number of sets and repetitions, specifically focusing on preparing the muscles and joints for upcoming activity. Dynamic stretching aims to increase blood flow and improve the range of motion while activating the muscles.

Choosing 1-2 sets with 4-6 repetitions allows for enough movement to effectively warm up the body without overly fatiguing the muscles. This approach is well-suited for dynamic stretching, which is often performed before physical activities to enhance performance and reduce the risk of injuries. It emphasizes engaging the body in a way that promotes dynamic control and readiness for exercise.

Higher set and repetition ranges might be more appropriate for strength or endurance training rather than dynamic stretching, which focuses on mobility and activation rather than muscular fatigue. The emphasis in dynamic warm-ups should remain on preparing the body efficiently while maintaining optimal performance characteristics for the activity that follows.
