The importance of warming up

Whenever engaging in any form of sport, it’s always best to warm up first as warming up helps your mind and body prepare to engage in strenuous activity. Warming up helps the blood flow to the various parts of the body, warming both the body’s core temperature and muscle temperature, which minimizes the chances for a sprain of injury to happen.

It is suggested to first do some light exercises like before the main event. These general warm up exercises will make your body be more prepared to handle whatever sport through elevating the heart and respiratory rate and facilitates the muscles of the body in receiving the proper nutrients. Stretching then follows, with various light tension exercises to even prepare your muscles more. Stretching gives you a bigger range of movement.
