  2. WARM UP Gradually raises body temperature and heart rate We warm up for 3 reasons: • To prevent injury • To improve performance • To prepare psychologically for the event.

  3. What should be included in a warm up ? Cardiovascular warm up- You start with this, which raises the pulse rate. Can include easy cycling, skipping, slow swimming, easy jogging and walking.

  4. Stretching- This forms the second phase of the warm up. There are 3 ways of doing this. • STATIC- Easy stretches which are held for about 10-20 secs. These should be related to the main activity.

  5. 2. BALLISTIC- Bouncing stretches.

  6. THE MAIN ACTIVITY The main activity may take a variety of forms. • It may vary in terms of training session e.g. • Interval training • Continuous Training • Fartlek Training • Circuit Training • Weight Training • Aerobics

  7. COOL DOWN The cool down gradually returns the body to its normal temperature and the working pulse rate to the resting pulse rate. It helps to prevent stiffness and soreness in the muscles by dispersing lactic acid. In order to return the pulse to its resting rate, a similar activity could be used as the one to warm-up.
