AQA GCSE PE: The Benefits Of Warming Up & Cooling Down Before & After Exercise | Injury Prevention | AQA Paper 1

This video will help you understand what makes an effective warm up/cool down, as well as their benefits. It is in hope that this video will help strengthen and consolidate your understanding, which will prove pivotal during your paper 1 examination.

You need to understand the following:

The constituent parts of warming up and cooling down.

Warming up should include:
• gradual pulse-raising activity
• stretching
• skill based practices/familiarisation
• mental preparation
• increase amount of oxygen to the working muscles.

Cooling down should include:
• maintaining elevated breathing and heart rate, eg walk, jog
• gradual reduction in intensity
• stretching.

You should understand and justify appropriate elements of a warm up and a cool down for different sporting activities.

The benefits of warming up:
• effect on body temperature
• range of movement increased
• gradual increase of effort to full pace
• psychological preparation
• practice of movement skills through the whole range of movement
• injury prevention.

The benefits of cooling down:
• allowing the body to recover
• the removal of lactic acid/CO2/waste products
• prevent (delayed onset) muscle soreness/DOMS.

I have attached the AQA specification below where you can read about this.

Key terms: warm up, pulse raiser, stretching (static/dynamic), skill familiarisation, mental preparation, psychological preparation, heart rate, breathing rate, blood flow, delayed onset muscle soreness, fatigue, tiredness, injury prevention, cool down and recovery.

As ever, if you require any assistance please leave a comment in the section below.
