An alternative to a stretch warm-up that includes moderate intensity, calisthenics - type activities (e.g., jumping jacks, jumping, skipping). Unlike the stretch warm-up, the goal is not to lengthen the muscles, but to move the joints through a full range of motion. The dynamic warmup can be substituted for a general warm-up in some cases and can be used instead of a stretch warm-up before strength, power, and/or speed activities (e.g., weight lifting, sprinting, or shot putting). A specific type of dynamic warm-up known as the sport-specific warm-up is recommended prior to sports.
