- Effects of a Warm Up
- Increased heart rate, stroke volume + cardiac output
- Increases the amount of blood + oxygen to the working muscles
- Increased body temperature
- increased blood temperature
- increased blood viscosity
- blood flows faster through the capillaries to the working muscles
- increased blood viscosity
- increased flexibility of muscles
- increased stretching of tendons and ligaments.. Increased range of movements at joints
- decreased risk of injury
- increased stretching of tendons and ligaments.. Increased range of movements at joints
- increased blood temperature
- Increased speed and force of muscle contraction
- Increased efficiency of antagonistic pairs
- faster nerve impulses sent to working muscles
- Increased efficiency of antagonistic pairs
- Greater Enzyme Activity
- more energy to working muscles
- Greater O2 dissociates from haemoglobin
- Greater influence of synovial fluid (thinner)
- Vasodilation of arteries going to muscles
- because we need more blood to working muscles
- Increased heart rate, stroke volume + cardiac output
