The document discusses the importance of warm ups for exercise. It explains that warm ups have two parts: joint mobility and activation. Joint mobility consists of movements that prepare joints for activity, while activation involves light exercises like running, jumping and lateral steps to elevate the heart rate before intense exercise and reduce injury risk. It provides examples of games that can be used for warm ups, such as "Gavilan" where players must cross sides without being caught.
