Cool Down to Reduce Injury Risk – Our Monthly Tip for Industrial Athletes
It’s important to cool down at the end of the workday because strenuous and repetitive job tasks build muscle tension and cause fatigue.
Tips
- Start your daily cool-down routine while your muscles are still warm
- Stretch your muscles using full range of motion to promote flexibility
- Add a few static stretches or a short walk to the end of your workday
- Don’t skip your cool down; otherwise, you won’t sleep as well
