Abstract

Warm up is widely used in athletic events. Warm up is primarily used to increase performance through increasing muscle and core temperature. The increase in muscle and core temperature is thought to increase blood flow throughout the body, and therefore increase oxygen delivery to the exercising muscles (Bishop et al, 2002). Warm up also acts to reduce muscle and joint stiffness, increase transmission rate of nerve impulses, and change the force velocity relationship (Bishop, 2003)
