Indeed. Prioritizing warm-ups protects your body for the long haul.

Precisely. A proper warm-up significantly reduces the risk of strains and tears in explosive movements. Thanks for all your input!

Agreed. It's about building intensity gradually.

Typically 15-20 minutes. Enough to break a light sweat and feel ready for activity, but not fatigued.

How long should these warm-ups be for explosive sports?

Fantastic. PowerLifterPro, you nailed the preparation of the nervous system. HealthExplorer, agility drills are absolutely crucial. And FreshFork, sport-specific movements in the warm-up are incredibly effective for performance and injury prevention.

While my sport isn't explosive, the concept of specific movement patterns at lower intensity is great. It reinforces good form and prepares the muscles involved.

Sport-specific movements at a lower intensity. If it's basketball, practice some dribbling and light shooting. If it's soccer, gentle passes and short dribbling runs. This not only warms up but also primes the exact movement patterns.

Agility ladder drills are excellent for footwork, coordination, and quick directional changes. Cone drills for changes of direction are also key. Don't forget general cardio to elevate heart rate and body temperature.
