To help you perform at your best and lower your risk of falls and injuries, it\u2019s important to carry out a proper warm-up routine. This applies whether you are having a training session or playing a full match. Here are some fun and effective ways to warm up for netball.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why warm up?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhsinform.scot\/healthy-living\/keeping-active\/warm-up-and-cool-down-activities\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Warming up<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> increases your body temperature and boosts the blood flow to your muscles, joints and heart. This makes them more flexible and less prone to strains, so you are ready for action. It also increases the supply of oxygen to your brain, helping you to gain mental clarity and focus as you transition into match or training mode.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Raise your pulse<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gradually raise your heartbeat with some aerobic exercise to quicken the circulation. For example, jog on the spot or round the court; skip; or perform high kicks or side to side shuffles. Don\u2019t throw yourself in at full intensity, but gradually pick up the pace as you go along.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do some dynamic stretches<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dynamic stretches involve active movements, rather than holding a static pose. For example, do a set of lunges, torso twists, or leg swings to loosen the muscles in your lower body. For your upper body, try some arm circles, shoulder rolls, or side to side head movements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Practice netball moves<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finish off with a few moves you will be performing on court, such as jumping with stable landings; swift changes of direction; passing and catching the ball; and fast feet drills.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These simple movements should take no more than ten or 15 minutes, and will reduce your risk of injury and boost your performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Looking for <\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cheshire netball classes<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?
