Defaticamento

Il cool-down dovrebbe sempre concludere ogni sessione di allenamento. Ha lo scopo di aiutare a smorzare attivamente l'effetto dell'allenamento. Si esegue con una attività meno intensa preparando lentamente il corpo al riposo e al rilassamento (per esempio ricorrendo alla cyclette). In particolare serve a decomporre il lattato formatosi nelle fibre muscolari e a ricavarne nuova energia (con una quantità sufficiente di ossigeno infatti tutto il lattato viene trasformato in energia, mentre l'acqua e l'anidride carbonica che ne risultano vengono allontanate attraverso l'urina e la respirazione).

warm-down


Explanation:
This is a widely used term in the sports world

WEIGHT TRAINING & CONDITIONING

Warm Up & Warm Down

Stretching well before and after every run will minimise the risk of injury and help your body cope with the physical stress placed upon it, thus enabling you to get the best from every session.
----------------------------------------
Importance of a Warm-Down

Just as warming-up is important at the beginning of a training session, warming-down is important at the conclusion of training. The warm-down gradually lowers body temperature and pulse rate and helps to flush lactic acid from the muscles. Lactic acid is produced by anaerobic activity and causes the muscles to feel sore. For a warm-down, perform some light, gradually decreasing aerobic activity and some stretching.
