What type of warm-up is recommended before physical training sessions?

The recommended type of warm-up before physical training sessions is a dynamic warm-up. This form of warm-up involves movement-based exercises that elevate heart rate and increase blood flow to the muscles. Dynamic warm-ups typically incorporate dynamic stretches and mobility drills that activate the muscles and prepare the body for the specific movements that will occur during the training session.

By engaging in a dynamic warm-up, athletes can improve their range of motion, enhance dynamic balance, and reduce the risk of injury. This prepares muscles and joints for the demands of physical activity more effectively than static stretching, which does not involve movement and may reduce muscle performance if performed prior to intense activities. The other options, although beneficial in certain contexts, do not provide the same readiness and responsiveness required for physical exertion.
