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?
I don't do much of a cool-down, usually 100-200 is all the time I have for. I have to say that Jeremy Linn, my main coach, always has us do some cool down. I should see him tomorrow and I'll ask him what he thinks of his room mate's theory.
