Warm-up phase : progressive effort.
Warming up is a preparatory phase before any activity. It puts the person INTO OPTI-
MUM CONDITIONS for carrying out his or her favorite sport. It is a METHOD OF PRE-
VENTING ACCIDENTS TO TENDONS AND MUSCLES. There are two aspects :
WAKING UP THE MUSCULAR SYSTEM, GENERAL WARMING UP.
1) The muscular system is prepared in a SPECIAL STRETCHING SESSION which PRE-
PARES FOR EACH ACTIVITY : each group of muscles is used, joints are used.
2) Global warming up gradually brings the cardiovascular and respiratory system
into action, improves irrigation of the muscles and prepares for making efforts. It
must be sufficiently long : 10 min for a leisure sport activity, 20 min for a compe-
tition sport activity. Note that warming up must be longer : after 55 years old, in
the morning.
Training
TRAINING is the main phase of your physical activity. You can improve your physi-
cal condition by REGULAR training.
• Anaerobie exercice to develop endurance.
• Aerobic exercice to develop cardio-pulmonary resistance.
Slowing down
This is the continuation of an activity at low intensity, the gradual “return to rest”
phase. SLOWING DOWN brings the cardiovascular and respiratory system, the
blood flow and muscles back to “normal” (eliminating the counter effects of an exer-
cice, such as lactic acids, the accumulation of which is one of the major causes of
muscular pains such as cramps and stiff muscles).
Stretching
STRETCHING must follow the slowing down phase while joints are still warm in order
to reduce risks of injury. Stretching after an activity : minimizes MUSCULAR STIFF-
NESS due to an accumulation of LACTIC ACIDS, “stimulates” BLOOD
CIRCULATION.

It is vital to measure your pulse periodically in order to control your
degree of exercising. If you do not have an electronic measuring device,
follow this procedure :
To take your pulse, position two fingers : on the neck, or below the ear,
or at the inside wrist beside the thumb.
Do not press too hard : excessive pressure reduces the blood flow and can slow down the heartbeat. After counting the pulsations for 30
seconds, multiply by 2 to obtain the number of pulsations per minute.
Example : 75 pulsations counted in 30 seconds corresponds to a heart
beat of 150 pulsations per minute.

manner.
Do no hesitate to consult a doctor before any
physical activity, especially if : you have not
practiced any sports activities in recent years,
you are more than 35 years old, you are not sure
about your health, you are following medical
treatment.
CONSULT A DOCTOR
BEFORE PRACTISING ANY SPORT.

Age
Cardio-training exercice is a form of aerobics (conditioning the body in the presence of oxygen) and allows you
to improve your cardio-vascular capacity. To be more precise, you will improve the tonicity of the heart and
your blood vessels. Cardio-training exercice carries the oxygen breathed in from the air to your muscles. It is
the heart that pumps this oxygen through the body and, in particular, to the muscles being exercised.
