Why do you warm up before exercise?

The transition from a static state to a moving state requires an adaptation process. Warm-up exercise before starting exercise can improve the excitability of nerve center and cardiopulmonary function, increase muscle blood flow, raise body temperature, improve the activity of biological enzymes, promote metabolism, keep the elasticity and ductility of muscles, tendons and ligaments in a good state, reduce internal resistance, and thus make all aspects of the body function in harmony and gradually reach the best state of exercise.

Benefits of warm-up before exercise

Reduce sports injuries

Warm-up before exercise can make tendons more flexible, because it increases body temperature and increases the range of motion of joints, thus avoiding the damage of joints, ligaments and muscles.

Raise body temperature

Warm-up exercise before exercise can help the body's blood circulation speed up and the body temperature rise slowly. Especially the faster the local body temperature rises in the exercise area.

Adjust mental state

Warm-up exercise before exercise is also helpful to exercise psychological activities, to adjust psychology, to establish neural connections between sports centers, and to make the cerebral cortex in the best state of excitement.

Adjust your physical condition.

Do warm-up activities to enhance the metabolism of muscle tissue, increase heat production and raise body temperature; The increase of body temperature may enhance metabolism, thus forming a "virtuous circle". Keeping the body in a good stress state is conducive to formal exercise. In addition, the increase of body temperature can release oxygen in blood to tissues, ensure the supply of oxygen and improve the function of nervous system.
