December 27, 2008

Why is cooling down important?

Cooling down past exercising could be instrumental to the muscular abilities of the body. As a steadily halted car running at a high speed ensured the proper health of car engine, break shoes and pumps etc. so does a gradual cool down from the stressed training position. Exercising of any form leads to a faster breathing rate and increased heart rate, for the heart to come back to the normal condition, it is very important to have a proper and gradual cooling down.

Apart from this immediate rest or halt past exercising ensures a lot of lactic acid deposition in your muscles. As we all are aware that lactic acid is a major cause of muscle soreness and muscular dystrophy. An immediate rest is also a cause of postural problems, in case you stop exercising and immediately sit with your laptop on the office desk.

You may also do a slow jogging session or a very reduced stretching pattern.
