<h2><u>Self-serving bias</u> tends to be caused by a desire to protect an individual’s self-esteem. </h2>

Match the phrase with the correct activity type.
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

<em>starts increasing the blood flow to the muscles: WARM UP</em>

<em>helps get muscles out of a relaxed state: WARM UP</em>

<em>helps prevent muscle soreness the day after exercise: COOL DOWN </em>

<em>helps the joints of the body handle the strain of exercise: WARM UP</em>

<em>keeps the blood moving through the body: COOL DOWN </em>

<em>helps keep the heart from getting shocked by activity: WARM UP</em>

COOLING DOWN -- it's important to cool down after a work out as it's a great way of recovery of the exercises and it can get back our heart rate and blood pressure to balance. It doesn't reduce muscle soreness but it regulates our blood flow.

WARMING UP -- helps our bodies to get prepared for the upcoming activity. It gradually becomes more active in order to rise our body's temperature so it can increase the blood flow into our muscles. It is also crucial in reducing risks of injury or muscle soreness.

How long does it take a cartilage piercing to heal?
Marta_Voda [28]
Cartilage ear piercings may take up to a year to fully heal, but generally take 3-6 months (as opposed to the ear lobe, that takes just 4-6 weeks). They heal from the outside in, so even if it looks fine on the outside, you should not assume it is fully healed.
