Q

Why do we warm up?

Explain why warming up increases body temperature.

A

There are a number of reasons why we warm up.

Warming up increases body temperature because respiration, a chemical reaction that occurs in your cells, releases energy in the muscles. When the body temperature is too high, the skin produces sweat. Sweat comes from tiny pores in your skin and it takes in some of your body heat. This heat is taken with the sweat as it evaporates which cools you down. Sweat has a main purpose of maintaining a healthy body temperature.
