RAMP has become a standard warm-up system recommended by the United Kingdom Strength and Conditioning Association (UKSCA) and is included in professional resources developed by the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA).
In this clip, Ian Jeffreys, author of The Warm-Up, explains how he developed the RAMP system and how he uses it to improve athletic performance.
