Remembering things - What is Recognition?
Recognition is a type of remembering that involves seeing something familiar. It is used when we do multiple choice examples or name someone after seeing their photo. It is easier and last longer than recall. Later on we will look at how to use this to our advantage.
Warming Up Before Exercise: How do you do it?
Warming up is important for improving performance and reducing the risk of injury and should be tailored for the exercise you are about to do. Start by getting your heart rate up and your body warm to prepare your muscles, nervous system and tissues. Then do some dynamic movements that are a slow version of what you are about to do. Here are some examples.

Warming Up Before Exercise: What are the benefits?

Meanwhile our long-term memory is thought to have unlimited capacity but takes longer to get information from.
