The track line warm up.

Track and field warm up.

The start of the warm up is active with low intensity activities such as arm circles easy skipping or walking toe touches. This routine should start gradually and focus on keeping an athlete muscularly warm. Simply jogging or jumping rope is somet. This is the dynamic warm up that i often use and put my athletes through regardless of sport.

Sprinters and jumpers generally warm up with 800m 1 000m of exercises and include more explosive exercises near the end of the warm up routine. After each drill you should run the remaining distance to cover 100 meters so that when the 7 drills are complete you will have run 7 100 meters exercises included. A proper warmup routine for a track and field sprinter should include components of biological systems which will be eventually used during a practice session or competition performance. The exercises are stationary or up to 30 meters in length.

To start a series of short twenty meter shake out runs should be included. The initial exercises are controlled focusing on raising the body temperature slowly and developing a full range of motion from head to toe. The 100 meters should be at your 1500 meter pace. In track and field throwers usually perform 400m 600m of active warm up exercises broken down into 10 exercises at 40m 60m each.
