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 main aim of the cool down is to promote recovery and return the body to a pre exercise, or pre work out level. During a strenuous work out your body goes through a number of stressful processes. Muscle fibers, tendons and ligaments get damaged, and waste products build up within your body.
