Question

which of the following statements regarding warm - ups and cool - downs is false?
multiple choice
suggested warm - up exercises include a low - intensity version of the exercise you are about to engage in.
taking a hot shower immediately after vigorous exercise effectively aids in cool - down and blood - flow return to the heart.
when you continue in light activity for a cool - down, blood vessels gradually return to their normal smaller diameter.
a minimum of 5 to 10 minutes should be devoted to cool - down.

Explanation:

Taking a hot shower immediately after vigorous exercise is not an effective cool - down method. It can cause blood vessels to dilate further instead of helping blood flow return to the heart in a proper way. A proper cool - down involves light activity which helps blood vessels gradually return to normal diameter. Warm - up exercises are typically low - intensity versions of the main exercise, and a cool - down should last at least 5 - 10 minutes.

Answer:

B. Taking a hot shower immediately after vigorous exercise effectively aids in cool - down and blood - flow return to the heart.
