Dynamic Stretches to Keep You on The Court
Summer sports like pickleball, tennis, and badminton are immensely popular due to their engaging and physically demanding nature.
An essential aspect of excelling in these sports is dynamic stretching, which involves active movements that mimic the exercises to come. This type of stretching enhances flexibility, increases blood flow to muscles, and improves overall performance while reducing the risk of injuries. Incorporating dynamic stretching into pre-game routines prepares athletes' bodies for the high-intensity actions of summer sports, ensuring both enjoyment and safety.
We've compiled a few dynamic stretches to help keep you on the court!
