Which dynamic stretch is included in the described warm-up?

• A. Jogging with arm circles
• B. Static quad stretch
• C. Hamstring towel stretch
• D. Shoulder shrugs

Answer: (A)

Dynamic stretches are movement-based, designed to raise heart rate and warm up muscles and joints before activity. Jogging with arm circles fits this idea because you’re moving your body (jogging) while actively rotating your shoulders and arms (arm circles), which helps warm up both the upper and lower body and prepares the shoulder region for action. The static quad stretch and the hamstring towel stretch involve holding a position rather than moving through range of motion, so they’re not dynamic prep. Shoulder shrugs are light, quick movements but don’t combine the cardio element with a full upper-body mobility motion in the same way.
