    And here are some rough notes I've made so far on some of the papers I've read:

    Temperature related
    Decreased resistance of muscles and joints
    Greater release of oxygen from haemoglobin and myoglobin
    Speeding of metabolic reactions
    Increased nerve conduction rate
    Increased thermoregulatory strain
    Non-temperature related
    Increased blood flow to muscles
    Elevation of baseline oxygen consumption
    Postactivation potentiation
    Psychological effects and increased preparedness

    At a probe depth of 40mm, Tm rises from 36oc at rest to >39oc after 10min moderate intensity. Rectal rises from 37 to >38
    Passive resistance seems to reduce significantly with Tm but dynamic changes are small.
    Increase in Tm increases oxyhaemoglobin dissociation, vasodilation and muscle blood flow. However, this may not be rate limiting for VO2. No comment on metabolite removal
    Rate limiting oxidative reactions appear to respond little to rising Tm
    Increasing Tm appears to increase reaction kinetics in the glycolic and phosphagen systems.
    Temperature increase speeds up nervous impulse transmission. However, data on the benefit of this is lacking.
    Thermoregulatory strain in hot environments for endurance
    Warm up can raise VO2 baseline so that inertia in the oxidative system is reduced when it comes to performance and anaerobic processes are stressed less
    Postactivation potentiation in the warm up may produce greater MVC in performance
    Breaking actin-myosin bonds by going through ROMs
    Psychological effects
    Isometric force does not seem to increase significantly with increasing temperature within normal ranges. Significant cooler does reduce isometric force though.
    Increasing Tm improves force/velocity (|v|>0) characteristics. General motor patterns (e.g. vertical jump) have shown benefit as well as individual muscles
    Passive warm ups can improve intermediate performance but usually harmful to endurance
    Active warm ups benefit short term through decreased stiffness, force/velocity, neuron transmission, glycolic and phosphagen. Should not be too intense otherwise fatigue (in the phosphagen system) will be significant. Best at 60% VO2max
    Active warm ups benefit intermediate same as short term but also because of improved VO2 baseline.
    Active warm ups can benefit long term through VO2 baseline but can make things worse through glycogen depletion or thermoregulatory strain
    Tm plateaus after 10 - 20 mins at 60% VO2max
    VO2 baseline reached 5 - 10mins at 60 - 80% VO2max
    Recover >5 mins to replenish CrP but
