3.6.1 Phases of a warm-up

• What is the purpose of a warm-up in physical activity?

  Prepare body and mind
• A warm-up reduces the risk of injury by increasing blood flow and muscle temperature.


  True
• What type of exercises are included in a general warm-up?

  Light, low-intensity exercises
• What is the purpose of sport-specific exercises in a warm-up?

  Mimic activity demands
• What is the primary purpose of general preparation in a warm-up?

  Increase heart rate
• Match each sport with an example of an activity-specific exercise:

  Baseball ↔️ Throwing drills

  Football ↔️ Agility cone drills

  Basketball ↔️ Dribbling drills
• Raising body temperature during a warm-up optimizes enzyme activity
• One primary function of a warm-up is to increase blood flow
• Raising body temperature during a warm-up optimizes muscle function.


  True
• Identify the key phases of a warm-up in the correct order:

  1️⃣ General warm-up

  2️⃣ Mobility exercises

  3️⃣ Sport-specific exercises

  4️⃣ Skill rehearsal
• Mobility exercises improve range of motion in joints and muscles.

  True
• General preparation aims to increase heart rate, enhance blood flow, and raise muscle temperature
• General preparation reduces the risk of injury by preparing the cardiovascular and muscular systems.

  True
• Activity-specific preparation promotes neuromuscular adaptation
• A warm-up prepares the body physically and mentally
• What are the key phases of a warm-up in the correct order?

  1️⃣ General warm-up

  2️⃣ Mobility exercises

  3️⃣ Sport-specific exercises

  4️⃣ Skill rehearsal
• Mobility exercises in a warm-up improve range of motion
• Skill rehearsal in a warm-up involves practicing technical skills required for the main activity.


  True
• Activity-specific preparation promotes neuromuscular adaptation
• A warm-up increases blood flow to enhance oxygen supply to muscles.


  True
• What is the primary function of a warm-up?

  Prepare the body
• Match the warm-up aspect with its purpose:

  Blood Flow ↔️ Enhances muscle oxygen supply

  Body Temperature ↔️ Optimizes enzyme activity

  Muscle Activation ↔️ Primes muscles for movement
• A general warm-up includes low-intensity exercises like light jogging
• What do sport-specific exercises prepare the body for during a warm-up?

  Activity demands
• Match the activity with its purpose during general preparation:

  Light jogging ↔️ Increases heart rate and blood flow

  Cycling ↔️ Warms up major muscle groups

  Jumping jacks ↔️ Elevates body temperature
• What does activity-specific preparation focus on during a warm-up?

  Mimicking activity movements
• Match the sport with its activity-specific exercise:

  Baseball ↔️ Throwing drills

  Football ↔️ Agility cone drills

  Basketball ↔️ Dribbling drills
• During activity-specific preparation, exercises simulate the specific movements and demands of the sport or activity
• What is the main purpose of general preparation in a warm-up?

  Increase heart rate
• The general warm-up lays the foundation, while activity-specific preparation targets the physical requirements of the upcoming activity.
