What are some sports warm-up exercises?

Sticking to exercise and physical training is good for our physical health. It is for this reason that every school has physical exercise courses for students to exercise. However, some students often suffer from leg cramps or injuries because they do not do warm-up exercises before physical exercise, which goes against the purpose of physical exercise. To prevent such things from happening, it is particularly important to do warm-up exercises before physical exercise. What are the warm-up exercises for physical exercise?

Stretching inner thigh muscles

Sit with the soles of your feet close together, knees pushed outward and as close to the ground as possible, grab your ankles with both hands, maintain this position, count to 10, relax, and then repeat 3 times.

Stretch the calf (posterior) muscles

Bend over and support your body with your arms and one leg (straight, toes on the ground). Bend the other leg in front of your body and relax it. Focus your body's center of gravity on the toes of the supporting foot. Push your heel back and down and use force until you feel the muscles in the back of your calf being stretched. Keep the tension going for 10, relax, repeat 3 times, and then switch to the other leg and do it 3 times.

Lie on your back, lift one leg, grab the end of your thigh near the knee, and pull it towards your chest. Keep the other leg straight and close to the ground, and your head should not leave the ground. Keep the position, count to 10, repeat 3 times, and switch legs.

Stretching the shoulder muscles - Method 2

Stretch one arm upward, then bend the forearm behind the head and relax. Use the opposite hand to grab the elbow from behind the head and slowly pull to the opposite side. Hold for 15 seconds.

For some students, physical education class is the only exercise opportunity in a week. However, this only chance may also lead to adverse reactions due to failure to warm up properly, which shows the importance of warming up before exercise. But many people often ignore this point or don’t know what warm-up exercises are. So you can try the methods provided above.
