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.
The cool-down process is important in exercise because it allows the processes of the body to gradually recover to resting levels. Even after consecutive days of physical activity, one may sometimes feel run down and out of energy if he/she does not incorporate a proper cool-down into the exercise routine.
