My coach today told me that cooling down at the end of practice was not good for the body. He said it could rip muscles that were just worked. I have always been taught that the cool down was important, especially after working hard and getting the heart rate up.
Keep in mind that this is an USA-S practice and those I'm swimming with are teenagers.
I'm curious what others think?
Did Linn give you any recommendations for lowering your heart rate or allowing the muscles to loosen-up after the practice then?
This was actually our other coach, Marc. He's a top notch coach but makes me question my cool-down thinking now.
Jeremy always has us cool down, especially after a hard, heart rate raising set.
