Question

Which of the following is not one of the reasons to properly warm up before exercising?

Answer 1

C) Return heart rate to resting levels

Answer 2

Answer:

c) return heart rate to resting levels

Explanation:

Warm-up before exercises is done so that the heart rate is increased gradually. The warm-up before exercising prevent any abrupt load on the heart as it might occur due to a sudden increase in demand for oxygen.  

Hence, warm-ups do not return the heart to the resting stage, rather increases its pumping action gradually.
