Explanation:

Question 7

• Option 1: Starting with high - intensity sprint is bad as muscles aren't warmed up, increasing injury risk.
• Option 2: Dynamic warm - up increases blood flow, flexibility, and prepares muscles for sprinting, reducing cramp risk.
• Option 3: Less water can lead to dehydration and more cramps, not prevention.
• Option 4: Increasing speed early without warm - up increases injury risk.

• Option 1: Cool - down with shoulder stretching helps reduce muscle stiffness by promoting blood flow and reducing muscle tension after a workout.
• Option 2: Avoiding upper - body workouts is not a solution; proper recovery methods are better.
• Option 3: Only lifting heavier weights can lead to more muscle strain and stiffness.
• Option 4: While water is important, it's not the main factor for post - workout shoulder stiffness.

• Option 1: Ignoring warm - up increases injury risk as muscles are not prepared for the game.
• Option 2: Wearing multiple layers doesn't replace a proper warm - up in preparing muscles for activity.
• Option 3: A comprehensive warm - up with dynamic stretches prepares the hamstring muscles for the demands of soccer, reducing the risk of pulling them.
• Option 4: Playing through pain can worsen the injury, not prevent it.

Answer:

Performing a dynamic warm - up routine before sprinting
