Warm up; the purpose of a warm up and why……
The purpose of a warm-up is to help prepare the participants body, in the mental aspect way and also physical. It can consist of a gradual increase in intensity or different intensities at a time. The warm up should be based around the current activity, this should be seen as if the activity is going to be circuit training, and you would have a more light intensity warm up.
Function of a warm up-
• Increase the heart rate
• Raise the body’s temperature
• Prepare the major joints
• Mentally prepare the participant
Components of the warm up are, pulse raiser and dynamic stretches;
The warm up should increase the heart rate in order to pump more blood around the body, to the muscles that are currently working. This will allow more oxygen to the muscles and the body and muscle temperature will increase. The improved temperature of the muscles makes them more flexible and supple, this helps prevent injury in certain joints.
Pulse raiser; this is a cardio exercise, that will raise an individual’s heart rate which will help the body prepare for the exercise. With this it should increase in intensity, the exercise should last between five to ten minutes depending on the intensity of the activity ahead but also the groups response to the warm up.
Stretching in a warm up is crucial; this is due to body releasing more synovial fluid in-between the joint thus making them more p[liable and willing to bend, this can help prevent
The EMS increase also the strength ans muscular mass, and you can elevate the intensity of your training, means more and more fibres are recruited in the
Homeostatic is all about balance so when you begin to exercise, you need more oxygen. The harder you breathe the more energy it takes to replace it. Your body temperature while exercising also increases; typically it creates too much heat so your body has to figure out a way to release the heat so it doesn't become dangerous. This is done by sweating
Everyday we will start our work out with the warm up, which will consist of the following:
Exercise increases heart rate by a process of sympathetic autonomic stimulation. Sympathetic (adrenergic) nerves increase the excitability of the sino-atrial node and reduce the P-R interval .As exercise continues, the physiological changes in the body are continuously monitored by a number of physiological systems and the balance of activity of the sympathetic system (speeding up) and the parasympathetic system (slowing down) is constantly adjusted. When exercise is over, the heart rate does not drop immediately as the body has to undergo a period of re adaption to return to the resting state.
for a number of tests, including flexibility and power and strength tests, a full warm-up should be conducted to reduce the possibility of injury
Specific warm-up procedures are necessary for an athlete to be able to target and prepare the affected area for return to play through various specialized drills and procedures, eg running up and down the crease to test the ankle and be able to run between the wickets during
* Relaxes the muscles – enables the therapist to work on the muscles without causing discomfort to the client
The first principles are warm up and cool down. The purpose of any warm up and cool down is to reduce the risk of injury and soreness. For this to be applicable, a warm up must be sustained for no less than 10min and for elite athletes, at least 30min. Included in this warm up must be stretching to loosen up the muscles. There are no physiological adaptations that
Heart rate anticipatory response – this is where the heart rate starts to automatically increase before you start to exercise. The heart rate is able to increase automatically by chemical hormones, the hormones are adrenaline and noradrenaline. These hormones are found inside the brain. The reason the heart rate increase before exercise is because it prepares the muscles for exercise, the reason it prepares the muscles for exercise is because by the heart rate increase the more oxygen is getting to the muscles there fore they will not be needing a such a large oxygen supply all at once. It doesn’t only supply oxygen it supply’s nutrients, the supply of nutrients also provides energy and helps to repair the muscles after exercise. By the heart rate starting to increase gives the heart a head to start pumping hard this enables the heart to not have as much stress on it.
Before going right into a stretching routine, it is good to know exactly what you are doing to your muscles fibers and tendons. First of all, our muscles are made up of many little fibers called myofilaments. As a muscle contracts, the area of overlap between the different sizes of myofilaments increases. As it stretches, this area of overlap decreases, allowing the muscle fibers to lengthen. Once the muscle is stretched to its limit, additional length is gained through the surrounding tissues. As the tension increases, the fibers in this tissue align themselves along the same line of force as the tension. Hence when you stretch, the muscle fiber is pulled out to its full length, and the connective tissue takes up the remaining slack. When this occurs, it helps to realign any disorganized fibers in the direction of the tension. Doing this not only increases the range of motion, but it also helps to heal damaged tissue in the muscles and tendons. When a muscle is stretched, some of its fibers lengthen, but others do not. The length of the entire muscle depends on the number of stretched fibers. This is also true when a muscle is
There are three stages to properly warming up the body. The first stage is ‘Cardiovascular’ exercises, this should increase the heart rate and warm up the muscles, activities such as running or jumping games are perfect for this. The next stage is the warming and
Range of movement- This is linked to muscle pliability as the warmer the muscles get, the better the elasticity which enable the body to move easier and have a better range of movement around a joint. Exercise increases the production of synovial fluid at a joint, therefore keeps the joints lubricated and makes them suppler. Consequently, allowing a larger range of movement throughout the body. For example if an individual went on the cross trainer for 10 minutes and then went on to the rowing machine; they would have an increased range of movement at their joints, making it easier to exercise on that machine due to the muscles already being warmed up.
Whether уоu аrе working оut іn а gym оr working оut аt home уоu muѕt start уоur workout wіth ѕоmе stretching exercises thеу help іn warming uр thе body. Warm uр nоt оnlу helps tо increase stamina, but аlѕо helps tо avoid cramps аnd injuries.
I am confused by when we first run one warm up lap and then we have to run two more right after. We should only run one warm up lap because that one warm up lap will warm up our bodies. Then we can do the stretches so we don’t injure ourselves and we can warm up out badie parts. This is where I get confused, why do we run an extra 2 laps when there is absolutely no point.
All good singers know that there is a co-ordination of many muscles parts and therefore warming up before singing should be an unhurried and a leisurely self-exploration that allows enough time for the loosening and coordination of the muscles that assist voice production. Your voice begins to sound better, effortless and a sense singing freely is felt, warming up your voice should be an enjoyable experience because as you warm up.
