How to do a proper warm up
- Begin with 2-3 minutes of whole body activities that use large muscle groups (light jogging), to elevate metabolic rate and core temperature
- Stretching should be sport specific
- Perform sport-specific skills related to activity
- Should last 10-15 minutes, and activity should be started within 15 minutes after the warm-up has been completed
o Cool-down
• Enables the body to cool and return to resting state Should last 10-15 minutes
