well 3 stage of warm up is i don't konw == ]]Yeah, yeah, the benefits of warming up are very nice- but what is it? Alister Namarra 07:12, 4 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
There is an great lack of evidence in this article. I want to believe warming up is important, but from the two studies references in the article:
I'm not an expert at all so I don't know if there simply haven't been enough studies or if the article doesn't cite the right ones, but I think this is definitely something that should be addressed.

UK athletics currently recommend that static stretches should never be used as part of a warm up. This is because the muscles are too cold and hence more prone to damage at this point. Also, usually an athlete has performed some gentle exercise to increase heart rate before this. If the athlete then stops to perform static stretches only then to proceed into intense exercise, the heart rate would have decreased significantly.
Warming up also refers to preparatory actions before singing, playing the piano, etc. Maybe this should be mentioned? Just my two cents. Keppa 00:15, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Keppa. I was in search of knowledge on such warm ups. - Guest —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.140.116.160 (talk) 22:59, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yes there are numerous other meanings to warm-up. I am studying them as part of a PhD and you are welcome to contact m,e even though I am only very partially there. I utilise the term warm-up in group psychotherapy and psychodrama. peter@moreno.com.au — Preceding unsigned comment added by Peter Howie (talk • contribs) 02:07, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I've always been given to understand that before any cardiovascular exercises are undertaken the joints should first be mobilised - ie, rotation of ball-and-socket joints, flexion/extension exercises for hinge joints etc - to warm up the synovial fluid and loosen the ligaments before you start to jerk the bones around in their joints. If some official source can be found - I don't have time to look and wouldn't know where to start if I did - that should probably be mentioned.

After hearing and reading articles saying that warming up was of dubious value, I asked my doctor his opinion. He said he believes there is little to no value in warming up but that stretching and other "cooling down" excercises are vital. Maybe some more research needs to be done on this article with links. --Billywhack 07:52, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why does the article say that warmups prevent injury when even the respective sources don't indicate that?
A lot of authorities (doctors & trainers) talk about how warming up is supposed to prevent injuries, yet there's little to no evidence of that.
