| 2/9/2012 | Completed | Topic: Warming up For Peak Performance Presenter: Justin Levine This presentation will discuss the fundamentals and importance of why warming up needs to be a main focus during training. As the main part of a training session is important, the overall workout will be low level without a proper and thorough warm up. The warm up starts the flow of a training session. If you learn to have high level and high energy warm ups you automatically take your performance to ultimate levels. During the warm up you can improve functional movement through mobility, flexibility and movement preparation drills. The warm up is a time to activate the nervous system, prepare the body for the work ahead and decrease injury throughout the rest of the training time. Athletes need to be focused and in tune during the warm up and understand the importance of this aspect. Click here to purchase this webinar. |
