Warm Ups for strength training- Istvan Javorek
Javorek Warm Ups
On a daily basis I hear from students that they heard that some exercises are dangerous. So my first basic weight training class I start with this short introduction: There aren’t dangerous exercises, just dangerous techniques.
I devote a great deal of time to warming-up exercises. I consider a good warm-up to be the first step in preventing injuries, as well as providing very good mental and physical preparation.
Any kind of engine needs a certain amount of time for warm up. An insufficiently warmed up engine will function improperly, and sooner or later will break.
- This rule applies very well to sport and human body.
- The warm-up’s influences are mechanical, physiological and psychological:
- Mechanical, because movement generates heat, raising the temperature of tissues and blood;
- Physiological, because the warmer muscles are more flexible, faster to react, and more explosive, while neuromuscular coordination also improves after a good warm-up;
- Psychological, because a properly warmed up musculature suggests through the body hormonal and neurological channels readiness, a “thirst to perform”, and general feelings of well-being.
Then, master a perfect exercise technique, exercise gradually and respect a program.
