Which of the following is not a benefit of cooling down after exercising? a. the body adjust back to a resting state. b. reduce heart rate. c. increase stamina when exercising. d. return blood to the heart, getting rid of lactic acid in muscles.

C. Helps increase stamina when exercising. .Explanation:

The purpose of cool down exercises is to reduce the heart rate at a very controlled pace. This regulation of the heartbeat allows the body to receive oxygenated blood at a gradually slower pace till it is accustomed to the lower heartbeat, as opposed to a sudden decrease in the heartbeat, which would cause movement of blood away from heart thereby resulting in lightheadedness.

An increase in the stamina while performing exercise does not benefit from cool-down exercise.

Further Explanation:

A cool-down exercise is a crucial part of the workout. This exercise only lasts for three-ten minutes. It includes gentle stretching and minor variations of the movements. The major reason for cooling down after the exercise is allowing the heart rate and breathing rate to the normal level.

Allows the heart rate to go back to normal: Many different types of exercise can cause an increase in the heart rate. Mainly cardiovascular exercise increases the heart rate of an individual. At the end of the exercise heart rate must go back to a normal level. This helps to prevent faintness and lightheadedness. Slowly return to the normal breathing rate: When your heart rate increases with exercise, your breathing becomes deeper as well. This is a sign that the body is working hard and burning more calories with exercise. A cool-down helps in breathing rate to gradually go back to the same tempo it had before an individual started the workout. Improved relaxation: One of the major signs of exercise is improved confidence. Cooldown is a great opportunity for an individual to reflect on the accomplishment and give themselves credit for the hard work did during the workout.

If it's a smaller child or infant, place one on the middle of the chest and on the child's back. (if it is a bigger child with enough room for two, place one on the upper right/your left of the chest, and one on the lower left/your right) the pads should never touch each other.
