How it works
Warm-up gradually increases muscle temperature and nerve conduction velocity, reducing the threshold for fatigue-induced cramping. Cool-down stretching prevents residual shortening that predisposes to delayed cramps.
Most relevant for athletes and active individuals prone to exercise cramps. Dynamic warm-up is more appropriate than static stretching pre-exercise. 5–10 minutes of each is sufficient.
Getting started
This is a lifestyle-based approach. Start gradually and consult a health professional if you have any concerns about suitability for your situation.
