The Cool Down - hmmmmmm

Just came across this article recently published in the New York Times talking about the "why" factor of the cool-down. Interesting. Sometimes I think we tend to just go with what people say without ever really questioning if it makes sense or not. I'm not too sure what to think about the cool-down just yet but it will be interesting to see what research gets done on it in the near future. As a coach, I'm always trying to stay on top of these topics but the "what to do's" and "what not to do's" are always changing. It's actually kind of exciting. Now read up and form your own opinion and I am going to go and see what else I can dig up on this topic!
