3.5.2 Warming up and cooling down

Cards (56)

  • Warming up involves light exercises and movements to gradually increase the body's temperature
  • What is the first component of a proper warm-up?
    Light aerobic activity
  • Order the steps of a proper warm-up.
    1️⃣ Light aerobic activity
    2️⃣ Dynamic stretching
    3️⃣ Sport-specific movements
  • Why is warming up important for reducing the risk of injury?
    Prepares muscles and joints
  • Match the warm-up component with its benefit:
    Light aerobic activity ↔️ Warms the muscles
    Dynamic stretching ↔️ Improves flexibility
    Sport-specific movements ↔️ Enhances coordination
  • What is the primary purpose of cooling down after physical activity?
    Reduce heart rate
  • Static stretching during cool-down involves holding stretches for 15-30 seconds.

    True
  • Order the components of a proper warm-up.
    1️⃣ Light aerobic activity
    2️⃣ Dynamic stretching
    3️⃣ Sport-specific movements
  • Light aerobic activity during warm-up prepares the cardiovascular system for exercise.
  • A proper cool-down includes light aerobic activity and static stretching
  • What is the purpose of cooling down after exercise?
    Reduce heart rate
  • Cooling down promotes the removal of lactic acid.
  • What type of aerobic activity is recommended during a cool-down?
    Light jogging
  • The components of a cool-down work together to reduce post-exercise discomfort.
  • Warming up reduces the risk of injury by preparing the cardiovascular system.

    True
  • Warming up improves performance by increasing blood flow.
  • What is the primary purpose of warming up before exercise?
    Prepare the body
  • Cooling down allows the cardiovascular system and muscles to recover.
  • Sport-specific movements enhance coordination and prepare the muscles for specific demands
  • What is the primary purpose of warming up?
    Prepare body for exercise
  • Match the warming up and cooling down activities with their descriptions:
    Light aerobics ↔️ Gradually increases heart rate
    Dynamic stretching ↔️ Improves flexibility and reduces stiffness
    Static stretching ↔️ Reduces muscle soreness and tightness
  • Light aerobic activity during a cool-down helps remove lactic acid.

    True
  • What are two key benefits of warming up for physical activity?
    Reduces injury risk ||| Improves performance
  • Order the steps for warming up in running:
    1️⃣ Light jogging to increase heart rate
    2️⃣ Dynamic stretches for leg muscles
    3️⃣ High knees and butt kicks
  • Warming up and cooling down activities should be tailored to the specific movements and energy systems used in each sport
  • Skipping the warm-up entirely increases the risk of injury.

    True
  • Why should static stretching be avoided during the warm-up?
    Decreases muscle performance
  • Order the steps for cooling down after exercise:
    1️⃣ Light aerobic activity to lower heart rate
    2️⃣ Static stretches for major muscle groups
    3️⃣ Hold stretches for 15-30 seconds
  • What is the purpose of warming up before physical activity?
    Prepare body and reduce injury
  • Warming up enhances the body's physiological responses to exercise.

    True
  • Dynamic stretching involves controlled movements that lengthen and activate the muscles
  • Dynamic stretching requires holding a static position for 30 seconds.
    False
  • Light aerobic activity during warm-up prepares the cardiovascular system for exercise.
  • Cooling down helps promote the removal of lactic acid from the muscles.

    True
  • A proper cool-down includes light aerobic activity and static stretching
  • Why is warming up important for improving performance in sports?
    Enhances physiological responses
  • What type of stretching is best suited for cooling down after exercise?
    Static stretching
  • Cooling down helps prevent dizziness or fainting after intense physical activity.
    True
  • What is the purpose of light aerobic activity during a cool-down?
    Aid lactic acid removal
  • Cooling down helps reduce the risk of muscle soreness and stiffness.
