It seems there might be a typographical error in your question, and a word is missing. If you mean to ask about the primary reason for warming up before physical activity, the answer is:
The primary reason for warming up is a reduction of the risk of injury during physical activity.
Warming up is essential before engaging in strenuous physical activity because it helps prepare the body for exercise. A proper warm-up increases blood flow to the muscles, raises the body temperature, and improves flexibility. These physiological changes make the muscles and joints more pliable and ready for the demands of exercise, reducing the risk of injuries such as strains and sprains. Additionally, warming up gradually increases heart rate, which prepares the cardiovascular system for the upcoming exertion.
