It is particularly important to help prevent injury. Warm-up is low-level activity, which should be completedprior to stretching and more strenuous exercise. The objective of the warm-upis to raise total body temperature and muscle temperature to prepare the entire body for vigorous activity.

Warm-up is one of the most important elements of an exercise program. It is particularly important to help prevent injury. Warm-up is low-level activity, which should be completed prior to stretching and more strenuous exercise. The objective of the warm-up is to raise total body temperature and muscle temperature to prepare the entire body for vigorous activity. The warm-up period prepares the cardiovascular system, respiratory system, nervous system and the musculoskeletal system by gradually increasing the demand on those systems so that they are able to accommodate the demands of more strenuous activity.
A proper Warm-up serves to raise the body to a necessary work capacity.
There are two types of Warm-Up:
1. General
2. Sport Specific.
The purpose of the General Warm-up is to increase the functional potential of the body as a whole, whereas the purpose of the specific warm-up is to establish the relationship between the upcoming movements/workout. The Sport Specific General Warm-up utilizes low intensity movements and exercises that actually involve the body parts that will be used in the subsequent activity. The General Warm-up is effective for raising core temperature and increasing blood circulation in order to raise both the general body and the deep muscle temperatures, which in turn help to heat up the muscles, ligaments and tendons in preparation for more vigorous activity. The way that we know we have done this is by breaking a sweat. So if there is sweat we can assume that the core temperature has elevated.
The likelihood of injury is reduced. Athletic performance can be improved. The warm-up increases muscle efficiency, reduces potential for muscle pulls, improves reaction time and improves the speed of movement of muscled and ligaments. A proper general warm-up can also help reduce the severity of post-exercise muscle soreness. The higher temperatures and increased blood flow resulting from warm-up are important for delivery of oxygen to the muscles and for prevention of build-up of unwanted waste products which can lead to muscle soreness.
Duration & Intensity of Warm-up
It is difficult to recommend specific intensity and duration of warm-up for every person, but most research in this area suggests an increase in body and muscle temperature of approximately one to two degrees Fahrenheit to be adequate. A brisk 5-10 minute General Warm-up will generally produce sufficient results to prepare the body for more strenuous exercise. The duration and intensity of warm-up should be adjusted according to the environmental temperature and the amount of clothing worn. The higher the environmental temperature and the greater the amount of clothing, the sooner the desired body temperature is attained. It is also important to begin a major activity while still warmed-up. Ideally, the rest period should be more than a few minutes. In any case, no more than fifteen minutes should elapse. When the beneficial effect of warm-up has dissipated, the muscle temperature will have returned to pre-warm-up levels.
