The Purpose of Cool-Down. The purpose of cool-down is the exact opposite of warm-up. Incorporating a planned cool-down at the end of your exercise session assists the body in the transition from exercise to rest. It allows the heart to adjust to the decreased intensity more slowly and can prevent laboured breathing at the end of higher intensity exercise sessions.
A cool-down period of 5-10 minutes should suffice for almost every workout. Like warm-up. the bulk of the activity done during the cool-down should be the same as the exercise session. only slower or on a smaller scale. Finish your run with a slow jog or a walk. Stretching. Stretching is always best done when the muscles are warm.
