Movement Prep (5) comprises which five components?

• A. General Warm Up, Hip Activation, Dynamic Stretch, Movement Integration, Neural Activation
• B. Mobility Drills, Foam Rolling, Static Stretch, Endurance Run, Breathing Exercises
• C. Plyometrics, Medball, Strength & Power, ESD, Regeneration
• D. Cardio, Balance, Static Stretch, Breathing, Meditation

Answer: (A)

Movement Prep is about layering activities that progressively wake up the body and connect the nervous system to the movement you’re about to perform. The five components are General Warm Up, Hip Activation, Dynamic Stretch, Movement Integration, and Neural Activation. A general warm up raises heart rate and tissue temperature to prepare the body for activity. Hip Activation focuses on waking up the hip muscles to ensure proper control and stability through the hips, which helps prevent compensations. Dynamic Stretching keeps muscles active while increasing range of motion, so you’re mover-ready without losing force production. Movement Integration practices the actual movement patterns you’ll use, but with gradually increasing complexity, so the transition from general to specific is smooth. Neural Activation primes the nervous system to recruit muscles efficiently and with precision, often through quick, coordinated drills. The other option blends elements like static stretch, long cardio, or recovery tools that don’t align with the targeted progression of Movement Prep.
