The warm-up should be intense enough to increase body temperature and cause mild perspiration, but not to the point of fatigue. 2. The warm-up should include light jogging, cycling, calisthenics, or other activities that increase muscle blood flow and muscle temperature. 3. The warm-up should include dynamic stretching and loosening exercise in the areas of the body that are about to be stressed. 4. The warm-up should include specific movements that are similar to the movements that are to be performed. 5. Optimally, the warm-up should end about 5 minutes before the start of an event. Warm-Up Benefits 1. Increases blood flow and muscle tissue temperature. 2. Increases speed of contraction and relaxation of muscles. 3. Increases strength and efficiency of muscle contraction. 4. Increases movement coordination. 5. Prevents musculoskeletal injuries. 6. Increases the delivery of oxygen to muscle tissue thereby reducing the oxygen deficit at the onset of exercise by bringing about a second wind more quickly. 7. Increases the metabolic processes through the body. 8. Psychologically prepares a person for higher intensity effort and activity. Cool-Down Guidelines 1. Light activity such as jogging, cycling, swimming, weight lifting, or calisthenics. 2. Static or PNF (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation) stretching of the major body parts used in the workout or performance to improve flexibility by increasing range of motion. 3. Massage of the major body parts used in the workout or performance. 4. Tepid shower. Cool-Down Benefits 1. Helps eliminate the lactic acid that was produced during exercise. 2. Facilitates the lowering of body temperature back toward resting values by helping dissipate excess body heat. 3. Minimizes muscle soreness. 4. Psychologically helps a person adjust and relax from the higher intensity effort and activity that occurred during the workout or performance. Stretching Exercises for Runners 1. Ankles and Feet plantar flexion (extension) & dorsiflexion (flexion) and clockwise & counter-clockwise rotation. 2. Lower Extremities flexion and extension of legs & thighs and clockwise & counter-clockwise rotation of lower extremities as well as abduction & adduction of lower extremities. 3. Trunk/Torso fexion & extension, abduction & adduction, and partial clockwise & counter-clockwise rotation. 4. Shoulders and Neck anterior & posterior rotation and retraction of shoulder girdle, and partial clockwise & counter-clockwise rotation of neck. 5. Upper Extremities - flexion and extension of forearms & arms and clockwise & counter-clockwise rotation of upper extremities as well as abduction & adduction of upper extremities. 6. Specific stretching exercises can be found in stretching books and websites. Types of Stretching Dynamic (Warm-Up) relaxing muscles are stretched by the dynamic movement of the opposing contracting muscles. Static (Cool-Down) involves holding a static position for 20-30 seconds during which specified joints are locked into position that places the muscles and connective tissue passively at their greatest possible length. Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation or PNF (Cool-Down) stretching procedure typically done with a partner or an assistive device such as a towel that involves alternating contraction and relaxation (stretching) of a muscle. Static and PNF are typically best for improving flexibility, which is the pain- free range of motion about a joint or series of joints.
