This document discusses the importance of warming up before exercise or sports. It notes that a warm-up increases heart rate, relaxes muscles, improves flexibility and joint mobility, and reduces injury risk. The warm-up has two parts - joint mobility exercises that move each major joint, and activation exercises that stimulate the whole body with mild movements of many muscle groups like running, skipping, and knee lifts.

2. WHAT´S THE WARM UP?
 You should do the warm up before
practicing any sport or exercise. A warm-
up generally consists of increase in
intensity in physical activity, a joint
mobility exercise, stretching, and a sport
related activity.

3. BENEFITS
 Relaxes the muscles.
 Increases heart rate.
 Speeds up nerve impulses, improving reflexes.
 Sends oxygen to the blood.
 Increases flexibility and joint mobility, reducing the risk of
injury.

4. PARTS
A. Joint Movility
B. Activation

5. Joint movility
 A joint is where two bones come together. The joints hold
the bones together and allow for movement of the
skeleton.
 In the warm up, you have to move your:
- Ankles
- Knees
- Hips
- Shoulders
- Elbows
- Wrists
- Neck

6. Activation
 It consists in exercises and which involve the whole body. It finds the
general stimulation of the body with exercises that entail a moderate
or mild and manifest as many muscle groups.
 Parts of activation running:
- Heidi with arms
- Backwards
- Sidewards
- Jump after three steps
- Skipping
- Crossing legs
- Touching the ass with the soles of shoes
- Raise your knees to your chest
- Sprint
