question 1-15
a class is designing a warm-up before playing a basketball game. which warm-up order is the best to be performed?
static stretching, jog a lap, ball handling drills
jog a lap, ball handling drills, static stretching
jog a lap, dynamic stretches, ball handling drills
dynamic stretching, ball handling drills, jog a lap

Explanation:

To determine the best warm - up order for a basketball game, we consider the principles of warm - up. First, a general aerobic activity (like jogging a lap) increases heart rate and blood flow to muscles. Then, dynamic stretching is used to improve flexibility in a way that mimics sport - specific movements, preparing the body for activity. Finally, sport - specific drills (like ball handling drills) are done as they require the body to be warmed up and flexible.

• Option 1: Static stretching before aerobic activity is not ideal as static stretching on a cold muscle can reduce performance.
• Option 2: Static stretching after sport - specific drills is not correct as static stretching is better done either before (but not as the first step) or after, but the order of jog, drill, then static doesn't follow the best warm - up logic.
• Option 3: Jogging a lap (aerobic warm - up) gets the blood flowing, then dynamic stretches (which are good for preparing the body for movement) are done, and then ball handling drills (sport - specific) are performed. This follows the proper warm - up sequence.
• Option 4: Dynamic stretching before jogging (aerobic warm - up) is not the right order as aerobic activity should come first to increase blood flow.

Answer:

C. jog a lap, dynamic stretches, ball handling drills
