WARM-UP EXERCISE
A warm up generally consists of a gradual increase in
intensity in physical activity (a "pulse raiser"), joint
mobility exercise, and stretching, followed by the activity.

WARM-UP AND
STRETCHING
Warm up exercise is a series of movements that is
needed to do before undergoing a physical activity. This
is to prevent muscles from cramps.
Warming up is intended to increase the body
temperature in readiness in the activity that will be done.
The aim of stretching is to increase flexibility and joint
range of motion.
Cool Down
Cool down exercise is a series of movements that
is needed to be done after undergoing a physical
activity. It may also prevent muscle cramps, or
headaches that may lead to fainting due to fatigue and
unnecessary right away stop of activity.
It slow downs the heartrate, breathing and cool
downs body temperature.
