What is the benefit of warming up before doing a strenuous activity?

- Warming up raises your body temperature so that your muscles perform better.
- Warming up speeds up blood circulation, moving oxygen and nutrient to the muscles.
Warming up gets your heart pumping faster, moving oxygen and nutrients to the muscles that will need them.

Ted says he doesn't want to "waste time" cooling down after soccer practice. Instead, he will turn the air conditioner in the car on high and shower at home. How is Ted likely to feel the next day?

- Ted will feel great after a hot shower and a good night's sleep.
- Ted may have sore, tight muscles from not cooling down slowly enough.
- Ted will feel tired after a tough practice.
Cooling down after strenuous activity is important. Keeping hot muscles moving and stretching gently helps them cool down slowly as does putting on a jacket or sweatpants. A warm bath or shower taken right away also keeps muscles from getting tight and sore.
