What is the most important action to take before beginning an exercise program?

Warming up before exercise is a good way to reduce the risk of injury and to prepare yourself physically as well as mentally for activity. Concentrate on warming up the specific muscle groups you will be using in your exercise and include dynamic flexibility exercises. It is important to cool down after exercise.

How can an athlete determine his/her fluid needs during exercise?

The best way to know how much fluid to drink during exercise is to calculate your sweat rate to know how much fluid you are losing during activity. After sweat rate is calculated you can calculate how much you need to drink.

What are the advantages for athletes to consume an appropriate pre exercise meal?

Carbs help maximize your body's ability to use glycogen to fuel short and high intensity exercises, while fat helps fuel your body for longer exercise sessions. Eating protein helps improve muscle protein synthesis, prevent muscle damage, and promote recovery. Good hydration is also linked to enhanced performance.

What steps can you take to prevent injury during physical activity quizlet?

Three ways to prevent sports injuries are by drinking enough fluids an avoiding dehydration, avoid overtraining by following the guidelines for your workouts, and warming up and cooling down to properly warming up your muscles before working out and cooling down your muscles after your workout.
