PE and Sport Faculty
What is a cool down?
A cool down is a period of lower intensity exercise which is done after a more intense activity, to allow the body to gradually transition to a resting or near-resting state.
Extension: What activities should be included in a warm up?

9. What are the key components of a cool down?
PE and Sport Faculty
What are the key components of a cool down?
1. Pulse lowering – exercises which gradually lower the heart rate and reduce body temperature e.g. easy movements such as light running, walking etc.
Activities during a cool down
2. Stretching – maintenance stretches such as static stretches (the stretches that you perform whilst the body is still) e.g. hamstring stretch
Add these two stages of a cool down and their descriptions to your mind map from the start of the lesson. Use a different coloured pen.

Physical benefits of a cool down
The first key benefit of a cool down is it helps to helps the body to return to its normal state. One way in which this is done is by gradually lowering the heart rate because when the body is not exercising the heart does not have to work as hard to pump blood and oxygen to the working muscles. Another benefit is the cool down helps to gradually lower the body’s temperature back to its normal state and gradually lowers breathing rate back to its normal state. The cool down also helps to continue to circulate blood and oxygen around the body and to the muscles. When exercise is stopped suddenly without a cool down, blood pools in the muscles which can make them sore. This is because the blood is not flowing around the body at a high enough intensity to remove the lactic acid and waste products from the muscles which makes them sore and stiff, therefore reducing the risk of muscle soreness and stiffness is another benefit. A final benefit of the cool down is when we stretch our muscles are then lengthened and strengthened which prepares them for their next work out/use. This helps to reduce the likelihood of injury the next time we exercise.
