2001 credit The body requires a constant supply of oxygen to function. • Describe why the body needs more oxygen when we start to warm-up. (1) • Describe how the body increases the amount of oxygen that is taken into the body. (1) • Describe how the body transports this oxygen. (2)
Warm down • The warm down is to help your body to recover after exercise and for your heart rate to decrease slowly. • It should start with jogging or light running. This will help the blood circulation to carry more oxygen to the muscles, which in turn will help reduce muscle stiffness as lactic acid is removed more quickly. This exercise should last a few minutes.
Warm down conti... Complete your warm down with some stretching. This will help keep muscles supple.
