What procedures or exercises are recommended in preparation of sports activities?
Fitness preparation should be geared for the task or sport starting with a minimum of 10-15 minutes of increased stretching of the muscle groups affected by the task. Additionally, 10-15 minutes of brisk walking or easy jogging is advisable to warm-up and stretch soft tissue. Cooling down is also recommended after a workout, which can be accomplished by simply slow walking for a 4-8 minute period after activity.
