GENERAL WARM UP

A warm up is a set of exercises that we do for the express purpose of getting the different parts of the body involved in a physical / sports activity to start working.

We Warm Up before intense exertion to allow our organism to adapt to the physical exercise.

In order to the physical activity to be benefitial, pleasurable and risk-free, we must prepare the different parts of our organism by progressively adapting them to the exertion through a process know as a warm up.

CARDIOPULMONARY

SYSTEM

LUNGS Our breathing gets faster carrying more oxygen to the blood

HEART AND

BLOOD VESSELS

When our heart rate increases, more blood moves around the body, bringing the muscles more oxygen, wich is necessary for movement.

LOCOMOTOR

SYSTEM

MUSCLES

Our temperature increases, which increases contraction speed, improving movement and decreasing the risk of injury.

JOINTS

The temperature of the joints also increases, enabling us to move more flexibly and decreasing the risk of injury.

All of the above means that the body temperature rises. That is why this stage of the organism´s adaption to physical exercise is known as warm up.

The warm up also prepares us psycologically for the activity to come:

- It makes us more willing to move because we feel looser and more agile.

- It increases our motivation to do physical exercise, play games or compete.

- It makes our ability to concéntrate on what we are doing, making our movements more

precise and useful.

A warm-up can be described as the gente and progressive activation of the entire organism to prepare for more intense exertion under favourable conditions and without risk of injury.

THE STAGES OF THE WARM UP

1 JOGGING We begin with a slow jog. This is known as continuous running and it’s the best way to get our cardiopulmonary system to begin working.

2 MOBILITY EXERCISES

(MOVE ON THE SPOT)

Mobilising the joints means performing as many different gentle, repetitive movements with each joint as posible. We have to do on the spot (without changing our location).

3 MOBILITY EXERCISES

MOVING ABOUT

We have to do mobility exercises, moving from one place to another (we have to change our location).

4 SPRINTS /

PROGRESSION RUNS

Sprint: run as fast as we can.

Progression runs: is to change speed when we are running, we have to start slowly and finish as faster as we can.

5 STRETCHING

EXERCISES

Stretching our muscles means adopting body positions that lengthen the muscles, making them longer than they are when in their resting position.

SOME OTHER THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

You must warm up no matter what time of year it is, even in hot weather.

The exercises should be done in succession without long pauses between them.

You should breathe normally, dont force it when you inhale and exhale.

It is a good idea not to repeat the same exercise too many times in order to avoid tiring out

your muscles.

Warming up is an individual activity that requieres us to pay attention and be aware of what

we are doing at all times.
