The muscles are most flexible during the cool down afterwards.
During the warm-up phase, muscles are becoming more pliable and prepared for activity, but the highest level of flexibility is typically achieved when muscles are warm and relaxed post-exercise. This is why static stretching is often recommended during the cool down, as it can help improve flexibility and prevent tightness.
So the correct choice is: **during the cool down afterwards.**
