I’m not sure it does, certainly that is not the typical justification. Cooling down aids recovery by sorting out you blood pressure and flushing lactate out of your muscles. This reduces soreness, and allows for subsequent training sessions sooner afterwards.

Warming up is the important step for injury prevention.
