- Who is the Warm Up & Cool Down poster for?
- Warm Up & Cool Down belongs to the Body & health section rather than to a school year, because health is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning movement can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the Warm Up & Cool Down poster?
- Warm up by moving through range. Save the long holds for afterwards. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Warm Up & Cool Down belongs on the wall where that health work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with Warm Up & Cool Down?
- Breathing Under Load, Common Injuries and The Core sit alongside Warm Up & Cool Down in the Body & health section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Breathing Under LoadCommon InjuriesThe Core
- Is the Warm Up & Cool Down poster free to download and print?
- Yes. Warm Up & Cool Down downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Body & health section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the Warm Up & Cool Down poster print at?
- Warm Up & Cool Down is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Warm Up & Cool Down loses nothing.Printing guide
