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 hope coach Marc has a very good reason for his theory, with clinical test results to back him up. Otherwise, his position is unsupportable and possibly dangerous.
