What is a primary purpose of the warm-up?

  1. Increase flexibility

  2. Decrease muscle mass

  3. Increase core body temperature

  4. Decrease blood flow to target tissues

The correct answer is: Increase core body temperature

The primary purpose of a warm-up is to increase your core body temperature. This helps your body prepare for more vigorous activity by increasing blood flow to your muscles and improving overall flexibility. Option A is incorrect because while warming up does increase flexibility, it is not the primary purpose. Option B is incorrect because warming up does not decrease muscle mass, but instead helps to improve and maintain muscle mass through regular exercise. Option D is incorrect because warming up actually increases blood flow to your muscles, which helps them receive oxygen and nutrients needed for activity.
