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.
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.
