Standardized Cool–down

Standardized Cool–down
The cool–down serves to gradually slow the heart rate and helps
prevent pooling of the blood in the legs and feet. You should begin
the cool–down by walking until your heart rate returns to less than
100 beats per minute (BPM) and heavy sweating stops.
The cool–down should last approximately 10 minutes and occur
immediately after the activities of the standardized physical training
session. The performance of The Stretch Drill makes up the cool–down
for ALL physical training sessions. The cool–down safely brings you
back to your pre–exercise state after performing vigorous conditioning
activities. The Stretch Drill provides exercises that are designed to
improve flexibility in most major muscle groups of the body. These
static stretches involve slowly stretching muscles and then holding that
position for an extended period of time.
