Warm Up & Cool Down- Skeletal System

• Warm Up:
• reduces muscle viscosity, leading to an improvement in the efficiency of muscular contractions
• greater speed & force of contraction due to higher speed of nerve transmission
• increases flexibility that reduces risk of injury due to increased extensibilty of tendons & ligaments
• Cool Down:
• increases speed of removal of LA & CO2 that raise acidity levels of the muscle & affect pain receptors due to O2 rich blood being flushed through muscles
• decreases risk of DOMS
