WHILE the Philippine Sports Commission encourages people of all ages to take up sports and be active, the agency also encourages everyone to ensure they will not sustain injuries in the process.
In line with this, the PSC web series ‘Rise Up! Shape Up!’ will demonstrate some basic warm-up exercises in a special webisode this Saturday, June 11, featuring Professors Emman Papa and Michaela Angela Sales from the University of the Philippines-College of Human Kinetics. The two will share kid-friendly whole-body warm-ups and stretches.
“Proper warm-ups and stretches will increase blood flow in the muscles and loosen joints a bit to prevent tears or bad twists when we exercise. This is especially needed in kids because they are still learning how to do proper form when exercising.” PSC Women in Sports Commissioner oversight Celia H. Kiram said.
