An appropriate warm down following sport or activity is essential for the body's recovery process. Not only will an effective warm down assist with decreasing muscle soreness in the following days, but it will also assist in reducing muscle shortening and injury likelihood. Furthermore, an effective warm down will improve performance for the next session, especially if the sport or activity is required shortly after.
An effective warm down for the average athlete should take between 10-15 minutes and involve approximately 2-5 mins of light intensity activity such as walking or light jogging immediately after the sport or activity, followed by static stretches of the major muscles that were used.
