In PRT, which exercise is typically used to improve flexibility?

Dynamic stretches are designed specifically to improve flexibility and range of motion. These movements involve controlled leg and arm swings that prepare the muscles and joints for physical activity by promoting blood flow and loosening up the muscles. They help increase flexibility by lengthening the muscles and facilitating a greater range of motion during physical activities.

In contrast, push-ups and pull-ups focus primarily on building strength in the upper body and core, while squats are centered around strength and endurance in the lower body. These exercises may contribute to overall fitness but are not specifically intended to improve flexibility. Dynamic stretching, on the other hand, is explicitly integrated into warm-ups in physical readiness training (PRT) to enhance the flexibility and mobility necessary for effective and safe performance in physical activities.
