Introduction

Warm-up and cool-down acti!ities should be incorporated into an,training as well as competition routines The warm-up prepares thebod, .or acti!it,/ as well as helping to pre!ent in0ur, to muscles/which can be more susceptible to in0ur, when cold The cool-downhelps the bod, clear lactic acid that builds up during an, acti!it,

1ess lactic acid means less soreness and stiness the ne+t da,

What is the ideal warm!up"The ideal warm-up will depend on the sport/ the le!el o. competitionand the age o. the participants warm-up should incorporate themuscle groups and acti!ities that are reuired during training orcompetition The intensit, o. the warm-up should begin at a low le!elgraduall, building to the le!el o. intensit, reuired during training orcompetition5or most athletes/ " to #$ minutes is enough 6owe!er in coldweather the duration o. the warm-up should be increased

The warm-up aims to: prepare the bod, and mind .or the acti!it, increase the bod,7s core temperature increase heart rate increase breathing rate

What about the cool!down"Too man, coaches neglect the cool-down at the end o. a session It is0ust as important/ especiall, a.ter !igorous e+ercise because the

bod, needs time to slow down and it is an important step in aidingreco!er, The cool down should occur immediatel, a.ter trainingacti!ities and should last " to#$ minutesThe cool-down can be the same sort o. e+ercise as the warm-up butwith low intensit, bod, mo!ement such as 0ogging or wal8ingsubstituted .or running Stretching a.ter acti!it, helps to ensurema+imum 9e+ibilit,/ rela+ the muscles/ return them to their restinglength and helps de!elop long-term attitudes to maintaining health,li.est,les

Stretchin#"

Stretching acti!ities can be included in the warm-up and cool downThere is now less emphasis on static-stretching during the warm-up/so stretches should mo!e the muscle groups through the .ull rangeo. mo!ement reuired in the acti!it, being per.ormed acti!estretching;Static stretching is still appropriate during the cool-down and can beused to impro!e 9e+ibilit,

Some rules when stretching: warm-up the bod, prior to stretching stretch be.ore and a.ter e+ercise acti!e stretching during the

warm up/ static stretching during the cool down; stretch all muscle groups that will be in!ol!ed in the acti!it, stretch gentl, and slowl, ne!er bounce or stretch rapidl,
