Muscle Repair and Dynamic Stretching for Muscle Readiness

During the repair process, muscles tend to become slightly shorter, impacting their length tension relationship and leverage. Dynamic stretching before sleep helps maintain muscle length and readiness for performance, without disrupting the length tension relationship. It also improves blood flow and prepares the body for workout. Active stretching drills like leg swings, lunges, and toe touches are beneficial to excite the nervous system, warm up the body, and explore increased ranges of motion, enhancing alertness and workout readiness. The dynamic stretching routine, as exemplified by Antonio Brown, can significantly improve muscle readiness and performance.
