17
Q

what does a good warmup include?

A
  1. gradual pulse raiser e.g. jog, light swim to increase amount of oxygen to working muscles
  2. stretching of all relevant muscles
  3. skill-based practices
  4. mental preparation- arousal control techniques
18
Q

what does a good cool down include?

A
  1. An activity to maintain an elevated breathing and heart rate e.g. walk, jog
  2. gradual reduction in intensity e.g. jog to light jog to walk
  3. stretching of all main muscles used in activity
19
