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.
A warm-up prepares your heart, lungs, and muscles for the endurance conditioning phase of your aerobic training session. Think of the warm-up as an on-ramp to a freeway. The on-ramp gives you time to bring your vehicle up to the speed of traffic to avoid an accident. The faster the traffic is, the longer the on-ramp should be.
