Many people ask this question when they see athletes in gyms warming up for 10 to 15 minutes at a time. Some athletes spend considerably more time warming up, and some, on the contrary, spend less time. So what should we do in this situation to make the following training more effective?
An experiment was carried out. Volunteers were divided into two groups. The first group warmed up for 50 minutes at a fairly high pace, and the second group spent 15 minutes at a slow pace. After the warm-up, they started exercising. The results showed that the first group was more exhausted than the second.
The experts concluded that a long warm-up causes fatigue. This has a bad effect not only on the results of the subsequent workout, but also on the state of the body as a whole. If you want to achieve great success, then because of the long warm-up your expectations will not be met.
In addition, muscle fatigue is caused by static stretching. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid these two unpleasant moments in order to achieve the best results. The warm-up exists to warm up the muscles and to warm up the joints. No more than that!
The optimal time for each athlete is different, because everyone’s training is different. Be sure to listen to your body, so as not to miss the moment when you feel fully prepared for the workout. After a good warm-up you should feel invigorated and want to get on the machine. Naturally, such a feeling will not arise if you get tired.
Do not fail in any case during the warm-up, otherwise you will strain your muscles or get an injury. In a good case, you will not be able to go to the gym for some time.
Do not forget to take small breaks in time to rest. This will restore your strength and increase your performance during the workout.
