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.
Research work by McNair (2000) and Knudson (2001) suggests that the use of dynamic stretches-slow controlled movements through the full range of motion-are the most appropriate exercises for the warm up.By contrast, static stretches are more appropriate for the cool down.uscle stiffness is thought to be directly related to muscle injury and therefore the warm up should be aimed at reducing muscle stiffness. Warming up should at least consist of the following: 1  5 to 10 minutes jogging-to increase body temperature.
