Awareness of safety:

    When doing any sort of training it is obviously very important to keep things safe, and avoid any sort of injury as this could affect your training if you were to injure yourself and avoid any hazards during training. Consequently for my PEP I will ensure everything is safe to use and the area is out of harm's way before starting my training. I will also ensure that I perform the correct procedures such as warming up and stretching my muscles properly before going into my training as this could cause stiffness and discomfort if not done appropriately.

Warm ups and their benefits

   A warm up is usually performed before participating in sports or exercising. A warm up generally consists of a gradual increase in intensity in physical activity before actual performance. For example, before running or playing an intense sport you can slowly jog to warm muscles and increase heart rate. The purpose of the warm up is to take the body from an “at rest” state and prepare it for increased intensity activity. The gentle increase in activity allows the capillaries to dilate (expand) slowly to accommodate the increased blood flow and oxygen for the upcoming aerobic activity.

  Although the warm ups sounds quite straightforward, they are still structured into three sequences:

  1. The pulse raiser- this involves light exercises to just gradually increase body temperature and to progress blood to working muscles.
  2. Stretching program- as the body and muscles are warmed up it is now time to remind the muscles their potential movements.
  3. Skill related practices- the aim of this exercise is basically to practice your skills just before the activity begins.

    The performance may be improved as an appropriate warm up ...
