Answer 3

The correct statement about the entire cool down process is:

"last between 5 and 10 minutes."

A cool down typically lasts around 5 to 10 minutes, helping to gradually lower the heart rate and promote recovery. The other statements provided are not accurate regarding the cool down process. The heart should gradually decrease in rate during the cool down, and the goal is to allow muscles to relax rather than increase in temperature.
