The agent responsible for the condition of the boy is Phencyclidine (PCP).

Phencyclidine is also commonly referred to as angel dust. The drug causes mind-altering effects. Some of the effects of the drug include distorted sound perception, hallucinations, hyperactivity, violent behavior etc.

It is a recreational drug and can be taken through the mouth, smoked, or injected into the body system. .

Since the boy appears euphoric, emotionally labile, disoriented and has hypersalivation, then this is the effect of taking Phencyclidine.

Dynamic stretches are part of an effective warm up because they can help
VashaNatasha [74]
Unlike Static Stretching that is recommended for AFTER an exercise or athletic activity, Dynamic stretching can make a good warm-up before you are ready to preform. In dynamic stretching, you increase blood flow, increase the range of motion, and your joints get ready for movement. It focuses on different muscles.

Basically, doing dynamic stretching(which is moving your body while stretching), your body is prepared to move in actual athletic activity.
