How important is it to stretch after sport? Almost all the fittest people I know never do cool downs after training and such.
In: Biology
If they are super into this, or professional, they may have other ways to do cool downs that work for them. I run a lot, as does my wife. After a good run, or jog, we slow down, then walk. Maybe sit for a bit. That’s our cool down.
I would assume ppl newer should really follow all the recommended guidelines, but as you start to do it regularly, you can begin to figure out what works for you. I mean, if you’re basing this on someone who’s been doing this for years, then I would assume they have their own routine and it works. They probably don’t deviate much. While a person who’s only been doing it a few months should follow all the guidelines because they don’t want to suddenly shock the system, wind up in pain or whatever, by cheating the steps.
Edit: Can also depend on what the activity demands too.
