5. What is a Warm-Up?
• Done before participating in sports or
exercising
6. What is a Warm-Up?
• Done before participating in sports or
exercising
• consists of a gradual increase in intensity in
physical activity (pulse raiser), a joint
mobility exercise, stretching and a sport
related activity.
8. Why do we Warm-up?
• It prepares the body mentally and physically
9. Why do we Warm-up?
• It prepares the body mentally and physically
• A warm-up will improve the effectiveness
of training and should be done before every
training session
10. Why do we Warm-up?
• It prepares the body mentally and physically
• A warm-up will improve the effectiveness
of training and should be done before every
training session
• This is fundamental to a safe practice and
decreases the chances of injuring yourself
11. Why do we Warm-up?
• It prepares the body mentally and physically
• A warm-up will improve the effectiveness
of training and should be done before every
training session
• This is fundamental to a safe practice and
decreases the chances of injuring yourself
• If performed correctly, it will enable the
body to perform at its peak performing
ability at the current time
14. Direct Physical Effects
of Warm-Up
• Release of adrenaline
• Increase of temperature in the muscles
15. Direct Physical Effects
of Warm-Up
• Release of adrenaline
• Increase of temperature in the muscles
• Increase of muscle metabolism
16. Direct Physical Effects
of Warm-Up
• Release of adrenaline
• Increase of temperature in the muscles
• Increase of muscle metabolism
• Increase in speed of nerve impulse
conduction
19. Release of adrenaline
• Increase in heart rate
• Enables blood carrying oxygen to travel faster
20. Release of adrenaline
• Increase in heart rate
• Enables blood carrying oxygen to travel faster
• Increased production of synovial fluid located
between the joints to reduce friction
21. Release of adrenaline
• Increase in heart rate
• Enables blood carrying oxygen to travel faster
• Increased production of synovial fluid located
between the joints to reduce friction
• Allows joints to move more efficiently
22. Release of adrenaline
• Increase in heart rate
• Enables blood carrying oxygen to travel faster
• Increased production of synovial fluid located
between the joints to reduce friction
• Allows joints to move more efficiently
• Dilation of capillaries
23. Release of adrenaline
• Increase in heart rate
• Enables blood carrying oxygen to travel faster
• Increased production of synovial fluid located
between the joints to reduce friction
• Allows joints to move more efficiently
• Dilation of capillaries
• Enables oxygen in the blood to travel at a
higher volume
26. Increase of temperature
in the muscles
• Decreased viscosity of blood
• Enables oxygen in the blood to travel with greater
speed
27. Increase of temperature
in the muscles
• Decreased viscosity of blood
• Enables oxygen in the blood to travel with greater
speed
• Decreased viscosity within the muscle
28. Increase of temperature
in the muscles
• Decreased viscosity of blood
• Enables oxygen in the blood to travel with greater
speed
• Decreased viscosity within the muscle
• Greater extensibility and elasticy of muscle fibires
29. Increase of temperature
in the muscles
• Decreased viscosity of blood
• Enables oxygen in the blood to travel with greater
speed
• Decreased viscosity within the muscle
• Greater extensibility and elasticy of muscle fibires
• Increased force and speed of contraction
38. Ballistic Stretches
Ballistic Stretches (involving bouncing or
jerking) are purported to help extend limbs
more during exercise to allow an individual
to be more agile and flexible. However this
type of stretching can cause injury and is
not generally recommended.
40. Static Stretches
Flexing the muscles to help prevent injury
and allow greater flexibility and agility. Note
that some sources discourage static
stretching as muscles are more prone to
damage if stretched while cold. Static
stretching for too long can also weaken the
muscles temporarily
44. Contraindicative Stretches
• Are stretches that are ineffective
• Does not do a good job stretching the
muscles
• Stretches that have the potential to do
harm
