The most common injuries among athletes come from the joints: wrists, knees, shoulders, elbows and ankles are put to the test when the effort is intense. All the more reason to warm them up!
The body is like a diesel car: it takes a little time before it gets hot. For playing sport, it's the same: it needs several minutes before finding its cruising pace. Running for ten minutes at a moderate pace, you will help your body and your heart to increase in intensity, allowing you to begin your favourite discipline to the full extent of your possibilities.
For those who have a real aversion to running, you can instead make a series of jumping jacks: arm along the body and legs close, you jump by spreading your legs and snapping your hands over your head, arms outstretched. You can do several sets of this exercise until you reach the right temperature.
The idea here is to perform a global warm-up of the body and add a little bit of running.
Once warm, do not go 100% from the beginning: take the time to return quietly to your sport, leaving the body time to settle and take its marks. Think progressively!
As soon as you warm up and throughout your practice, be sure to hydrate yourself, by sips whether it is hot or cold.
And most importantly: start your sports session just after your warm-up, without latency. Or you are good to start all over again!
And you, do you have a particular routine for your warm up? Movements or exercises to advise readers?
