Hamstrings, calves, hip flexors, quadriceps or gluteals
What sport can you cooldown your legs in
Football, basketball, rugby, hockey, tenis, etc …
Open the gates, close the gate, etc …
How long do you typically hold a static stretch for
15-30 seconds
What is a reason for a cooldown
Emotional levelling, Lactic Acid Removal, Prevents Blood Pooling, DOMS Reduction,
What is a reason for warming up
What are the two phases of a cooldown
Pulse lowering and static stretching
What is a disadvantage of not cooling down
Dizziness and Fainting, Delayed Recovery, Greater Risk of Injury, Increased Muscle Stiffness and cardiovascular strain
What can skipping a warm-up lead to
What are the three phases of a warm-up
Pulse raise, dynamic stretches and skill related excercises
What does ‘DOMS’ mean in doms reduction
Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness
What does increased heart rate help with
Boosts blood flow to deliver oxygen (O2) to working muscles.
What is an example of an exercise to raise you’re pulse that was mentioned in the slide
jogging or skipping
Why is lactic acid removal good for your body
It helps clear metabolic waste from the muscles
Explain how a warm up increases the speed of nerve impulses to the muscles
A warm-up increases core and muscle temperature, which improves nerve conduction velocity, allowing for faster muscle contraction, quicker reaction times, and better coordination
