    warm up (noun)

    How do you say "warm up" in Russian?

    Like, "he played well during warm up, but when the game actually started he played quite badly".
    "Особенно упорно надо заниматься тем, кто ничего не знает." - Като Ломб

    "В один прекрасный день все ваши подспудные знания хлынут наружу. Ощущения при этом замечательные, уверяю вас." -Кто-то

    also possible разогрев. Они разогреваются (разминаются) перед игрой - they are warming up before the game.

    quite interchangable.

    In specific contexts it can be тренировка. (like training a certain skill, scheme)

    I asked a Russian previous week: разогреваться
    Чем больше слов, тем меньше они стоят.

    the idea is that разогрев implies physical warming process,

    разминка, разминать may imply intellectual type of games, intellectual warmup, yknowwhatImean....

    Сейчас Я нашёл тоже выражение: разгреаю обед = re-heat lunch.

    Анекдот по теме: О чём думает петух, когда бежит за курицей: "Не догоню, так согреюсь». Что думает курица, убегая: "А не слишком ли быстро я бегу?»
