<p>A cooldown helps the body transition gradually from high-intensity exercise to a resting state, which can aid in recovery and reduce the risk of injury. An effective cooldown promotes the gradual decrease of heart rate and blood flow, which helps to prevent dizziness or fainting that can occur if one stops intense activity abruptly. Additionally, it assists in the removal of metabolic waste products from the muscles and reduces muscle stiffness and soreness by maintaining flexibility and aiding in muscle relaxation.</p> Signup and view all the answers
