Warming Up, Cooling Down by Jo Harris
Appropriate warm-ups and cool-downs are important components of health-related exercise, yet teachers, exercise leaders and coaches have not had access to the information they need to correctly lead and teach these aspects. Two leading authorities, Jo Harris and Jill Elbourn, have fulfilled the need for this information by writing "Warming Up and Cooling Down". These scientifically-sound but practical and fun ideas can be used in any setting (school, sports club, youth work club) in which people are promoting vigorous physical activity. Therefore, the principles and proposals for action identified in the publication have a relevance and significance for all professionals working with young people. This text provides theoretical information about warming up and cooling down and a comprehensive range of practical examples which are relevant and safe for children and young people, but also helps teachers, coaches and community providers to develop their understanding of: safe and effective exercise practice when working with children and young people; the curriculum requirments in terms of learning about warming up and cooling down and considers how these can be achieved; and the potential of specific age groups to perform, design and evaluate their own warm ups and cool downs.| SKU | Unavailable |
