	By the Manitoba Moose Official Site     Being properly prepared physically for competition and practice is an important part on injury prevention. For that reason, we at PlayYourGame.com are excited to be able to provide you with a warm-up outline that has been authored by the Manitoba Moose of the American Hockey League. We encourage you to not only read the article but also to try to incorporate some of these warm-up staples into your daily routines. It is our belief that you will undoubtedly notice a difference. Prior to engaging in any strenuous activity you should warm-up properly. A proper warm-up will help prepare your cardiovascular system for the activity, while lessening the demand on the system. It will also increase the range of motion of the muscles, thereby reducing the likelihood of injury. The warm-up will also provide you with an opportunity to psychologically "focus" on the upcoming activity be it a game, practice, or training session. Your warm-up should consist of the following: Stretch - a brief general stretch. Skate, jog or cycle - to increase your core temperature and stimulate your cardiovascular system. Specific Stretching - slow stretching specific to the demands of the activity. Sports Related Warm-Up - this involves the skills and drills specific to the activity that you will be participating in. Brief Rest - prior to the event, this should also include the ingestion of fluids. Event - game, practice, or training session. Cool-down - should include an easy jog or bike ride to help metabolize and re absorb the waste products of muscular activity, as well as a stretch to help regain the full range of motion and prevent post activity stiffness and muscular soreness. © 2000,2001 Manitoba Moose Hockey Club.
