Why are warm-up and cool-down components considered essential parts of every training session for both aerobic and strength training programs?   (3 marks)

Show Answers Only
  • Warm-up components prepare the body for training by gradually increasing heart rate and muscle temperature.
  • This process reduces injury risk through improved joint mobility and muscle elasticity before intense exercise.
  • Warm-up activities enhance performance by activating the cardiovascular system and preparing muscles for training demands.
  • Cool-down components help gradually lower heart rate and prevent blood pooling in extremities after exercise.
  • This enables better recovery by promoting lactic acid removal and reducing muscle stiffness post-training.
