Muscle warm-up

 

Did you know?

All athletes, especially after a certain age, know how essential a warm-up is before starting intense physical activity.

The reason is simple: to minimise the risk of injury and perform at your best.

Warm-up exercises, such as running, skipping or the exercise bike, raise the heart rate as a result of the demand for blood flow to the muscles. This allows greater muscle oxygenation and the supply of a larger amount of nutrients, as well as a rise in temperature, thereby improving the sports performance we are about to undertake and preventing the risk of possible muscle strains.
