Lecture 6 Flashcards
The broad purpose of a warm up is to…
prepare the body for more intense work
Specifically you can expect a good warm up to do what 9 things?
- slowly increase blood flow
- lessen the risk of abnormal cardiac rhythm
- improve O2 unloading from hemoglobin (Bohr effect)
- increase the speed of metabolic reactions
- increase O2 consumption
- increased nerve conduction
- increased body temperature
- decrease joint stiffness/viscosity
- feelings of well-being, preparedness
How can a warm up benefit you?
- provides an opportunity to up regulate “incrementally”
- may enhance performance or ability
A warm up likely will not…
reduce risk of injury
2 key elements of a warm up:
- elevate ventilation of O2 and muscle temperature
- minimize fatigue (effective warm up should not be fatiguing)
Bohr effect:
- enhanced unloading of oxygen in metabolically active peripheral tissues
- partial pressure of CO2 increased = reduced blood pH
- hemoglobin passing through, improves oxygen delivery
Bohr effect occurs _____ to metabolic activity.
proportional
Warm up can be ____ or _____.
- active
- passive
Most PA exercise programs involve a ____ warm up.
active
Active warm ups induce greater _____ ______ than passive.
metabolic changes
Active warm ups provide _____ ______ than passive because…
- better performance
- they involve activating the whole body
Ex passive warm ups:
- sauna
- hot shower
- immersion
- heat application
General warm ups are ____ _____ and ____ ______.
- low intensity
- non specific
Specific warm ups are specific to the:
- muscle groups/fibres
- energy system
- type of exercise
- component of fitness
_____ warm ups sometimes precede ____ warm ups.
- general
- specific
Specific warm ups are individualized to the needs of the ______.
individual
Order of warm ups:
- general
- specific
- PAP
Warm up type for aerobic:
- general
- specific not necessary
Warm up type for resistance:
- general
- dynamic flexibility
- light weight training sets
Warm up type for neuromuscular/flex:
- general
- specific
- passive and active
- static and dynamic
- PAP
Warm up type for speed/agility:
- general
- specific
- drills (low-high intensity)
- PAP
Warm up type for sport:
- general to specific
- specificity principle (drills, practice, ROM etc.)
- goal is to be ready
- have a plan
