50
Q

What are the 3 components of a warm up?

A
  • Pulse raising
  • stretching
  • sport specific activity
51
Q

Why do you need a pulse raising warm up?

A

To increase deep muscle temperature, loosen joints and increase cardiac and respiratory rates

52
Q

Why do you need a stretching part in a warm up?

A

Increase the range of motion around joints and extensibility of muscle and helps reduce risk of injuries to tissues

Q

Why do you do a light jog in the cool down?

A

Allows cardiac and respiratory levels to gradually reduce

56
Q

Why do you stretch in a cold down?

A

Increase blood flow allowing faster recovery

57
Q

Why do you refuel in a cool down?

A

Allow muscle growth and repair and rehydration
