 PHYSICAL
CONDITIONING
EXERCISE  Is an action that involves
physical involvement
specifically when performed to
improve fitness and health.
Three stages in an exercise program:
1. Warm up
2. Work out
3. Cool Down
WARM UP AND
STRETCHING EXERCISES
It is the first step in the routine, it
gives heal to the muscles to make
it more flexible and prevent injury
before more vigorous physical
activity begins.
The benefits of warm – up and
stretching activities prior to a
rigid training are:
1. Heart rate increases during
warm – up activity which
increased blood flow to the active
muscles.
2. Diminished “stiffness” due to
increased stretch tolerance of the nerve
receptors in the muscle which allows an
increased ranged motion.
3. Decrease in the reflex inhibition of
opposing muscle groups that improves
range of motion.
