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 warm-up period should not include static stretching, but should instead be a gradual increase in pace and intensity of the exercise. This allows for the body to increase blood flow to the muscles, and decreases the likelihood of a muscle or joint injury. The warm-up should last between 5 and 10 minutes.The cool-down session should last a similar amount of time as the warm-up, with the pace gradually decreasing. Stretching exercises would be appropriate after aerobic exercise.he warm-up should last between 5 and 10 minutes.
