Three Stages:
1. A pulse raiser - eg jogging, speeds up oxygen delivery to muscles
2. Stretching - Prevents an injury to the muscle
3. Drills specific to your activity - More intense practices related to the sport you are about to play. Should mimic what you are going to do and the muscles you are going to use in the main session.
A good warm up takes a minimum of 10 minutes
- It physically and mentally prepares you for exercise
- Increases oxygen delivery to the working muscles
- Increases temperature of the muscles, tendons and ligaments, reduces chance of injury
- Increases flexibility which will aid performance
