1. What is the difference between warm-up and cool down?

According to definition, warm up and cool down are slower-paced, reduced-intensity movements that
precede and follow exercise. A warm- up before exercise builds gradually toward the pace and intensity
of the exercise. A cool down following activity, also called a warm down, gradually returns the body to
its resting state. A warm- up is usually performed before participating in technical sports or exercising. A
warm-up generally consists of a gradual increase in intensity. On the other hand, cooling down or
warming down is an easy exercise that will allow the body to gradually transition from an exertional
state to a resting or near resting state and it is performed after participating an exercise.

4. Give at least 5 benefits that can be derived in doing warm-up and another 5 benefits for cool
down exercises.

Warm- Up

Perhaps the greatest benefit of warming up before a workout? It can help reduce your chances of injury.
Here are the benefits of warm- up exercise.

1. You may lower your risk of injury.


2. Your workout may be more effective
3. You’ll work more time-efficiently.
4. You’ll find the right headspace.
5. You’ll enjoy your workout more.

Cool Down

Just as important as it is to warm up before any workout, cooling down is also essential. These are the
benefits of cooling down exercise.

1. Regulating your heart rate


2. Reducing the build-up of lactic acid
3. Preventing injuries
4. Body restoration
5. Stress relief and relaxation

5. As a Physical Education student, how will you teach today's youth the importance of
performing warm-up and cool-down exercises before engaging in any physical activities? 

I’m certain that there are a lot of students neglecting the pre-exercises because often they start
the main exercises or physical activities without performing the warm-up and cool-down
exercises, as I have observed. Hence, I would like to use the knowledge I gained to inform them
of the important role of warm-up and cool-down exercises before performing vigorous
activities . Why is it important? It gradually increases body temperature and blood flow to the
muscles , preparing muscles, including the heart, for exercise, and it reduces the risk of muscular
injury. Cooling down also allows the body to safely transition from exercising back to a steady
state of rest. It helps muscles return to optimal length and prevents pooling of blood in certain
extremities, which prevents your blood pressure from dropping too rapidly.
