Warm It Up

Literature Review Warming up before a game or an event has become such an important and common task that researchers have been continuously trying to find ways to improve performance through warming up. Researchers are still trying to figure out whether a 20-30 minute moderate intensity warm up is enough to reach someone’s optimal sprint performance. Many studies have found that the most influential factors that warm-ups have on sprint performance include the increase of muscle temperature (Faulkner, Ferguson, Hodder, & Havenith, 2013 & Zois, Bishop, Ball, & Aughey, 2011 & Sander, Keiner, Schlumberger, Wirth, & Schmidtbleicher, 2013 & Mohr, Krustrup, Nybo, Nielsen, & Bangsbo, 2003). This leads to the second part of the study to find out if…

Getting down on one knee, to get closer to the fairy standing on the dresser he picked up the magnifying glass so he could examine the wing. Looking back at Mel he asked, “Did I mention I played the French horn.” “I was never very good,” he continued. “And I could not march in a straight line.” Touching the wing, he pulls it open about half way. “Am I hurting you?” he asked Addy. “It’s not a real bad pain, but I can feel it,” she said. “Got an Idea,” the doctor said as he stood up…

study is to determine the effects of a high intensity versus a low intensity warm up on oxygen deficit and performance. This study hypothesized that the oxygen deficit levels will decrease with a high intensity warm up, therefore reaching steady state faster compared to a low intensity warm up. The Independent Variables are high intensity warm up versus a low intensity warm up, and the Dependent Variable are Oxygen Deficit and performance. There are also limitations such as placebo effect,…

Vocal warm-ups are exercises that prepare the voice for specific activities such as singing or acting. Though scientific data doesn't really convince one of the benefits of it, vocal warm-up exercises are still performed by many as a way of warming up their voice before use. Personally, we feel the difference when we warm up our voices before we sing or even teach a class. In the world of acting, a vocal warm up can help with line memorization, speech, pronunciation, enunciation and even…

Image a time when you forgot to warm up before a run and then regretted it later. Now think about how your horse feels every time you run him without a proper warm up. Without a proper warm up, you may be paying thousands of dollars in vet bills or even hospital bills if you or your horse gets injured during your run. Is running the fastest time really worth anything if you or your horse gets injured and can’t run again. The process of warming up your horse before a run may seem pointless,…

Warming up before playing football is important. If no heating, the risk will be greater sprains. If less warming could also pose a risk of muscle cramps during exercise. Muscle cramping is caused by a lack of heap of lactic acid in the muscles. Heating can be started with the walk, trot, or exercise intensity for the purpose of heating is to increase the frequency of the heart are landless, so there is enough time to replenish working muscles with oxygen-rich blood. Benefits heating football…

The warm-up of a dance/movement therapy (DMT) session is a crucial component for both the clients and therapist. It allows the therapist to gain a sense of where the group is and a feel of the dynamic the group is in. The warm-up helps to welcome members into the group and let clients know that they entered a space for them to be heard and accepted through their movement. It establishes cohesion, connection, and community between the clients and the therapists as they become ready to move. In…

For many years, stretching was an accepted part of warmup for any physical activity. It was believed that it would decrease sports injuries, but now professionals are not so sure about that fact. According to C.W. Daub (2013) “Stretching does not equal a warm-up. The best approach to warming up… is…dynamic movement to prepare the muscles and connective tissues for the intended activity”. That does not mean that there are not advantages to stretching, but that it does not necessarily need to be…

Our first piece, the Bernstein “Warm-Up” was definitely our most difficult song. During the unison sections, we blended well because we were all singing the same thing which is what we are used to doing. In the round sections, you could hear individuals sticking out. I think the balance between voice parts should be worked on next time. When we sang the word “bong” you could hear a lot of the “ng” sound as opposed to hearing the “o” sound. Our diction was done nicely, we were very percussive…

At the point when a chilly front goes through, temperatures can drop in excess of 15 degrees inside the principal hour. A cold front is the main edge of a cooler mass of air, supplanting at ground level a warm mass of air, which exists in a genuinely sharp surface trough of low pressure. It forms in the wake of an extratropical typhoon, at the main edge of its cold air shift in weather conditions design, which is otherwise called the tornado's dry transport line course. Temperature changes over…
