Warming up your muscles to prepare for exercise is a very well researched area of exercise science, and the science strongly supports the positive effects of warm-ups on performance and reduced prevalence of specific injuries. HOW DOES WARMING UP HELP TO PREVENT INJURY? When warming up for exercise increased activity of muscles increases blood flow, which in turn increases the temperature of the muscle. Increasing muscle temperature improves the elasticity of muscle and gets it ready for performance. This reduces the risk of injuries like muscle strains, but also significantly improves the performance capacity of the muscle.
