An effective warm-up routine for children should include:
1. Light Aerobic Activity: Activities like jogging, jumping jacks, or skipping can increase heart rate and blood flow. 2. Dynamic Stretches: These are active movements that stretch the muscles without holding the position, such as leg swings, arm circles, or walking lunges. 3. Sport-Specific Drills: If the child is preparing for a specific sport, incorporating drills related to that sport can be beneficial.
