Specializes in Sports Medicine

Warm down: I think the best way to decrease post exercise lactic acid is to warm down too many people just finish their exercise and sit down and the Lactic Acid accumulates so warm down gradually and make sure youre not dehydrated with either water or an electrolyte fluid.
