The warm-up is an extremely important part of participating in sport and physical activity. A thorough warm-up consists of a number of different components which help to physically prepare the body's cardiorespiratory and musculoskeletal systems for the main activity. It should always be carried out before the main activity so that the performer is able to benefit from an improved performance and reduced risk of injury for the main event.

1. All warm-ups should start with a pulse . This is any activity that gradually increases in intensity to get the heart beating faster.	Increased heart as more blood is pumped around the body as a result of increased activity This is accompanied by an increase in the frequency and depth of to get more oxygen into the lungs More oxygen can then be transported to the working to meet the increased demands At the same time, carbon dioxide produced by the muscles is removed and transported to the lungs, ready to be exhaled	Muscle increases as the increased metabolic activity produces heat This makes muscles more pliable, allowing them to become more flexible A more flexible muscle reduces the risk of muscle as it is able to safely move through a greater range of motion
2. The warm-up should then look at activities to take the joints through a gradually increasing range of movement. These are known as activities. They are generally less demanding than the initial component of the warm-up.	Slight in heart rate and breathing rate as the intensity of the warm-up lowers	Increased production of fluid to lubricate the joint and increase range of movement
3. Focus can then turn to the preparation stretch. This is a combination of stretches that target the main muscles that will be used in the main activity. There are different types of stretches that can be used: Static stretches - performed on the spot Dynamic stretches - performed while on the move stretches - target just one muscle group Compound stretches - target a number of different muscle groups	Further decrease in heart rate and breathing rate for or simple stretches, as they are less demanding Maintained elevated heart rate and breathing rate for or compound stretches as they are more active	Reduced likelihood of muscle during the main activity. This is because the flexibility of muscles is safely increased to a level where they can undergo a full stretch without the risk of injury.

Warm-ups for all sports and activities should consist of the components above, but the activities within each component may vary, depending on the demands of the activity that the performer is about to participate in. Moreover, warm-ups for sports may include rehearsal of skills that are going to be used, so that performers are able to build their confidence through practice, before they attempt it for real.
