3-5 minutes - Length of a pulse raiser, Star jumps, jogging, tig-tag, shuttle runs - Examples of pulse raising activities, Pulse raiser - Completed to elevate the heart rate to match the activity about to be undertaken, Increased heart rate - Heart rate increase as a response to the demand for extra oxygen to the muscles, Increased blood flow to muscles - Blood flow is redirected to areas of the body demanding extra oxygen, such as the legs if running, Increased breathing rate - Breathing rate increase in response to the lack of oxygen reaching areas of the body in need, Increased depth of breathing - Depth of breathing increases to help rid the body of carbon dioxide and other waste products, Increased removal of carbon dioxide - Waste product of respiration that is removed to prevent lactic acid build up in muscle, Increased muscle temperature - Muscle contractions create movement which increases the temperature of muscles, Reduced risk of muscle strain - The chances of injury are reduced when a pulse raiser is carried out, Increased pliability of muscles - When the muscles and ligaments/tendons are warm they can stretch further,
