Warming up before practicing a sport reduces the risk of muscle injuries.
Warming up is the action of warming up . This verb refers to communicating heat to a body so that it raises its temperature; to exalt or inflame spirits ; to sexually arouse ; or to loosen the muscles before practicing a sport .
Regarding this last meaning, the exercises that an athlete performs before the competition are known as warm-up. The objective is to warm up little by little so that, in full competition , no injuries occur. Warm-up exercises are very common in major professional sports, such as football or basketball .
Sports warm-up
The warm-up, therefore, seeks for the body to reach its optimal level gradually, since, if the aim is to perform at its maximum from the first minute, the adaptation of the body will be inadequate and the risk of suffering an injury will increase.
Within this type of sports warm-up we have to highlight the existence of a classification that divides them into four large groups. Thus, on the one hand, there would be the preventive warm-up, which is what is carried out by athletes who are in the full recovery phase of an injury.
On the other hand, there is the so-called general warm-up, which is what is undertaken to prepare the muscles before carrying out a specific physical activity.
Thirdly, we would talk about the specific warm-up, which is what athletes perform, adapting it perfectly to the sporting discipline they practice. Thus, for example, those who play tennis, in addition to warming up to prepare their legs, will basically focus on developing exercises to prepare their arms in a special way, which are the parts of the body that they will use the most in their competition. .
And finally we would have to talk about the dynamic warm-up, which is defined as being a perfect mix of a wide number of exercises that improve flexibility, coordination or strength, for example.
Global warming constitutes a serious problem for the environment.
The term in medicine and agriculture
In another sense, the disease that horses suffer from in their frogs and lungs is known as warming.
In addition to all of the above, we cannot ignore the existence of a technique used in the field of agriculture that also makes use of the term warming that we are now addressing. This is known as intermittent warming , which has the clear objective of reducing the damage that low temperatures have caused to the various crops. Specifically, it is carried out cyclically and in the post-harvest period.
global warming
Global warming is, on the other hand, a phenomenon produced by the increase in the temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and oceans in recent times. It is also the theory that, based on projections, estimates future growth in temperatures, generally explained by human action.
Scientists consider, therefore, that human beings must modify their behaviors to reduce pollution (which generates the greenhouse effect, for example) and prevent temperatures from continuing to increase.
