The RAMP principle follows three phases; Raise, Activate/Mobilise and Potentiate.

The raised element of the RAMP principle is aimed at elevating the body temperature, heart rate, respiration rate, blood flow and joint fluid viscosity via low-intensity activities. To achieve this, it is common practice to jog. However, given the fact that there is limited time for the warm-up, it could be argued to accomplish this, movement skills/ or sports skills could be implemented at a low…
