Static and dynamic stretching are among the most effective exercises for improving flexibility. Static stretching involves holding a stretch for a period, enhancing muscle and connective tissue length over time. Dynamic stretching incorporates movement to prepare muscles for activity and improve range of motion. When combined in a routine, these methods enhance overall flexibility and performance. Pilates and yoga also promote flexibility through controlled movements and postures, making them valuable additions to flexibility training. Regular stretching can alleviate muscle tightness and improve overall mobility, contributing to better physical performance.
