Examples of warm-up exercises designed by The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center’s Sports Medicine team help you increase your motion and efficiency of movement prior to any sporting activity.

The dynamic warm up increases blood flow and “turns on” muscles that need to be ready to perform once you start running or other endurance exercise. This preparation for your activity will help improve movement patterns and decrease any inefficiencies or gait abnormalities in order to increase your performance and decrease the risk of injury.

Want to be a better runner, cyclist or swimmer? Let our healthcare professionals analyze your gait, bike fit and swim stroke: https://wexnermedical.osu.edu/sports-medicine/treatments/endurance-medicine
