There are three important benefits to the warm up session:
1.flexibility is increased, the muscle is pushed to its full potential, and the chance of dizziness or fainting caused by the pooling of blood in the extremities is reduced.
2.aids in the dissipation of waste products, reduces the potential for Delayed Onset of Muscle Soreness, and increases the heart rate gradually.
3.flexibility is increased, the chance of dizziness or fainting caused by the pooling of blood in the extremities is reduced, and the heart rate is gradually increased.
4.he heart rate is gradually increased from the resting pulse, the temperature within the muscles is increased, and the chance of muscle soreness and injury is reduced.
the heart rate is gradually increased from the resting pulse, the temperature within the muscles is increased, and the chance of muscle soreness and injury is reduced.
Both options 3 and 4 are correct. A warm-up session provides the following benefits:
- Increased flexibility, reducing the chance of dizziness or fainting caused by blood pooling in the extremities and reducing the chance of muscle soreness and injury.
- Aids in the dissipation of waste products and reduces the potential for Delayed Onset of Muscle Soreness (DOMS).
- Increases the heart rate gradually, helping to prepare the cardiovascular system for more intense exercise.
Therefore, the answer is a combination of options 3 and 4:
3. Flexibility is increased, the chance of dizziness or fainting caused by the pooling of blood in the extremities is reduced, and the heart rate is gradually increased.
4. The heart rate is gradually increased from the resting pulse, the temperature within the muscles is increased, and the chance of muscle soreness and injury is reduced.
During the ______________ you should gradually decrease the pace of exercise until your pulse rate lowers to at least 120 beats per minute.
During the cool-down phase, you should gradually decrease the pace of exercise until your pulse rate lowers to at least 120 beats per minute.
Your cool down session should include
Your cool down session should include the following:
1. Gradually decreasing the intensity and pace of exercise.
2. Incorporating stretching exercises to improve flexibility and prevent muscle stiffness.
3. Allowing your heart rate to gradually return to its resting rate.
4. Focusing on deep breathing and relaxation techniques to help reduce muscle tension and promote recovery.
5. Taking the time to rehydrate and refuel with water and nutritious snacks.
6. Reflecting on your workout session and setting goals for future workouts.
Select the statement below that correctly outlines the steps required to perform a chest stretch.
To perform a chest stretch, the following steps are typically recommended:
1. Stand tall with your feet shoulder-width apart.
2. Extend both arms out to your sides, parallel to the ground, with your palms facing forward.
3. Slowly bring your arms back and squeeze your shoulder blades together.
4. Hold the stretch for 15-30 seconds, focusing on feeling a gentle pull across your chest.
5. Relax your arms and repeat the stretch 2-3 times.
Therefore, the correct statement outlining the steps required to perform a chest stretch is:
"Stand tall with your feet shoulder-width apart. Extend both arms out to your sides, parallel to the ground, with your palms facing forward. Slowly bring your arms back and squeeze your shoulder blades together. Hold the stretch for 15-30 seconds, focusing on feeling a gentle pull across your chest. Relax your arms and repeat the stretch 2-3 times."
The goal of _____________________ as part of the cool down is to relax the muscles and improve their maximum range of motion.
The goal of stretching as part of the cool down is to relax the muscles and improve their maximum range of motion.
What part of the body is being stretched if you follow these steps?
Stand tall, your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, your knees slightly bent. Hold your arms out to the side parallel with the ground, and the palms of your hands facing forward. Rotate your hands so the palms face to the rear. Stretch your arms back as far as possible.
