Information race:
Around the room you will find information on the 7 physical benefits of a warm up. You must collect this information and make detailed notes on it in your exercise book. Ensure that these are detailed as you will need to be able to explain these in an exam question!
Physical benefits are those which are linked to our body including our organs, muscles and joints. They are not the ones linked to our brain

9. Psychological benefits of a warm up
PE and Sport Faculty
Psychological benefits of a warm up
Heighten or control arousal levels e.g. get in the zone or settle nerves
Improve concentration / focus
Increase motivation
Opportunity for mental rehearsal
Mental rehearsal is giving the athlete time to think about what they will be doing in the main activity e.g. a gymnast might think about how they need to perform their routine correctly after the warm up. They may use this time to think back to successful experiences of completing this routine and think about how they did this and what they need to do in order to complete it again successfully today.
Task: Copy these into your exercise books.
Think – pair – share: How does a warm up provide these psychological benefits?
