We believe dynamic warm ups are superior to static stretching because they elevate the core body temperature, enhance motor unit excitability, improve kinesthetic awareness and maximise active ranges of joint movement.
This is supported by multiple research studies, including the 2010 American College of Sports Medicine which specifically advises against static stretching before workouts or competitions as it may harm maximal performance. Similarly, the 2011 European College of Sports Scientists issued a position statement saying that static stretching could “diminish” athletic performance.
