The document outlines the three main parts of a physical education class: warm up, main activity, and cooldown. The warm up prepares the body for exercise through cardiovascular activity and stretching. The main activity can take various forms depending on the training goals. The cooldown returns the body to its normal state and prevents muscle soreness by dispersing lactic acid through light activity similar to the warm up.

13. COOL DOWN

14. COOL DOWN The cool down gradually returns the body to its normal temperature and the working pulse rate to the resting pulse rate. It helps to prevent stiffness and soreness in the muscles by dispersing lactic acid. In order to return the pulse to its resting rate, a similar activity could be used as the one to warm-up.
