The purpose of the warm-up and cool-down. Posted to misc.fitness.aerobic by Larry. Each has its own purpose, both related to performance as well as injury prevention and safety. The warm-up is to prepare the body for the demands of the exercise to come later - a rehearsal of sorts for the more intense movements to come.
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.
