  1. What should you do first to lower your risk of a sports injury?

    Warm up before activity. Warming up prepares muscles and joints for activity, which helps lower injury risk.

  2. Why is cooling down after exercise useful?
    Show the answer

    It helps your body recover gradually. Cooling down is active recovery that helps heart rate drop and reduces stiffness.
