ABSTRACT: Pre-exercise warm-up is a very important factor for individuals everywhere to understand. Many believe that the warm-up idea is a false hope in preventing injuries however this is false. Warming up the muscles before exercise helps warm up tissues and enzymes that are required for muscle recruitment and in turn allow the muscle to stretch further and help prevent possible injuries on muscles. When designing exercise programs, many factors and variables need to be considered before creating the actual exercise matrix. It is very important to consider each individual and create each program around that individual’s goal; however each program should follow a set of constants. The constants are the principles of the exercise program design itself. These principles can then be manipulated to reflect the desired response from each individual. The basis of the exercise begins through a series of steps that firstly begin with the warm-up. Many individuals fail to understand the importance of a warm-up which may consist of general, specific, performance, and functional warm-up.1 The warm-up or progressive preparation is based on the understanding of kinetics which is the study of motion and its causes.1 When objects move under the constraint of resistance caused by friction, tension, and other constraints they do not have the same ability to accelerate. The human body works in this way providing cold tissue to be less pliable, cellular enzymes to be less active and neural conduction to be less efficient.2 In order for the body to perform at its optimal level it must first be warmed up. Most people understand that warm-ups should precede the intense exercise activity, however many fail to understand the scienti... ... middle of paper ... ... pathways that are activated during exercise which helps choose muscle recruitment in the right gradual order. The warm-up is a very important physical part of activity and will in fact help to prevent future injuries. Works Cited (1) Biagioli, Brian D.

The only other strength of the experimental design was that its validity was reasonably high. This experiment directly tested the effect of prior exercise on muscle fatigue during physical exercise
It what makes muscles feel somewhat firm while at rest. The purpose of muscle tone is to keep the muscles primed and ready to use. This functions allows for quick reflexes and the partial contraction, which is always in an active state, maintains balance and posture. Muscle tone keeps the muscles healthy and generates heat. “If the nerve to a particular muscle is damaged, it may no longer be able to stimulate the muscle contractions necessary to maintain muscle tone and the muscle will become flaccid and eventually it will deteriorate”(2). The tone of such muscles is not defined by matching against the muscles that are resisting, but the passive state that exhibits enervation without
When you need to boost your sports performance, there are a variety of pre workout supplements that you will find on the market. The right supplements will help you to achieve the highest levels of your performance. If you are an athlete, it is important for you to fortify your body with the most beneficial supplements that are made with high quality ingredients. What are other advantages of taking pre workout supplements? When you take a pre workout supplement at the right dosage, it will help you to have more energy, it increases your focus and it also helps to give you more power during your workouts.

The use of the six principles of training by a 100m sprinter would greatly improve the athlete’s performance. This is because the progressive overload, specificity, reversibility, variety, training thresholds and warm up/cool down principles all greatly affect the performance of any athlete. The principles of training can be employed in order to improve all aspects of fitness, from flexibility to strength and aerobic endurance.

The muscles produce movement by pulling the bones as each muscle contracts. There is a low strength muscle contraction called tonic contraction and it enables one to maintain its body posture. When one has good posture it is better for the body to function. The heat production is when the body maintains a certain temperature and it is important because that is one of the main functions for the body to survive. For the body to maintain a normal body temperature the muscle fibers must contract to produce heat required to keep it normal.
The purpose of this experiment was to gather data on how the amount of time spent active impacts the speed of heart rate in beats per minute. The hypothesis stated that if the amount of time active is lengthened then the speed of the heart rate is expected to rise because when one is active, the cells of the body are using the oxygen quickly. The heart then needs to speed up in order to maintain homeostasis by rapidly providing oxygen to the working cells. The hypothesis is accepted because the data collected supports the initial prediction. There is a relationship between the amount of time spent active and the speed of heart rate: as the amount of time spent active rose, the data displayed that the speed that the heart was beating at had also increased. This relationship is visible in the data since the average resting heart rate was 79 beats per minutes, while the results show that the average heart rate after taking part in 30 seconds of activity had risen to 165 beats per minute, which is a significantly larger amount of beats per minute compared to the resting heart rate. Furthermore, the average heart rates after 10 and 20 seconds of activity were 124 and 152 beats per minute, and both of which are higher than the original average resting heartbeat of 79.
American society has entered into an era in which strength training has become the standard and most popular method of keeping the musculature of the body in aesthetic shape. Fitness centers and personal home gyms have emerged as important catalysts for people, providing everyone with equal opportunity and incentive to exercise and strength train in safe and instructional settings. This fitness boom along with the growing concerns and questions regarding the safety of prepubescent exercise has spurred several gatherings of pediatricians, fitness center owners, exercise physiologists and other related exercise scientists. Together, these groups are involved in active research studies, discussion of the methods, safety issues and effects of strength-training on prepubescent chil...

Those two major exercises are parts of the warming up and it optimizes your performance, it’s necessary for you because it can prevents you from having any injuries, second: create routine before and during the competition, third: it makes you ready and prepared physically and mentally
physical efforts. Another important point is that out of shape people has higher probability to get hurt on regular daily activity Physical Readiness Training (PRT). That is because of the lack of training for even the most basic of activities. Therefore, if people do not want to get disappointed when they try to join in the military is important to concern about overweight. The best advice is to know the enlist requirements in advance to adopt healthy eating habits and to keep workout as much as possible This way the candidate will not have problems about weight to join in the U.S. Armed Forces. Unfortunately, height and weight measurements are just one of the requirements. Another problem that has been impeding the youth of today to
