🍥Who did not have a partner who hated “getting warm”?
📚 That “preparatory and introductory part to a motor activity of considerable effort and / or as the initial phase of any type of physical-sporting session” (Platonov)
But…🤔
🤷🏽♂️ Why do it?
To prepare you physiologically and psychologically for your next training or competition.
🤷🏼♀️ How does it benefit me to do it correctly?
💯 Just to name just a few: increased heart rate, improved elasticity of muscles and tendons, increased speed and strength of muscle contraction, conditions ligaments and joint capsules, preparing them for later movements of greater intensity, activation of receptors, which facilitates and improves neuromuscular coordination, greater concentration and increased alertness (Sympathetic System and chatelaines).
✅Which translates into an increase in your performance and a decrease in the probability of injury.
🙋🏼What is the best way to do it?
✔️ We will stay with this answer: it depends.
It would be ridiculous to think that a prior conditioning for a basketball game⛹🏽, 🍥 being this a contact sport with countless intermittent and explosive gestures, is the same as a marathon🏃♀️, they are simply different.
🙋🏽♀️ Are there more effective techniques than others?
👍 Definitely yes, but let’s save that for another chance. The most important thing is that you trust the professional of your club or staff, that you know your body and your sport. 💪🏼🏀🏐⚽️🏑
