What typically concludes an aquatic aerobic workout?

The conclusion of an aquatic aerobic workout typically includes a stretching segment. Stretching is essential after exercise as it helps to gradually lower the heart rate and prevent stiffness. It also enhances flexibility and aids in the recovery process by relieving muscle tension that can accumulate during a workout.

In aquatic workouts, stretching is often performed in the water, where the buoyancy can assist in achieving a greater range of motion safely. The cooling properties of water can also contribute to muscle relaxation. Thus, integrating stretching at the end of an aquatic aerobic session supports overall muscle health and prepares participants for a smooth transition back to regular activities.
