What should participants expect after completing an aqua fitness session without a cooldown?

After completing an aqua fitness session without a cooldown, participants should expect an increased likelihood of dizziness. A cooldown period is essential as it helps the body transition gradually from the high intensity of exercise to rest. It serves to lower the heart rate and stabilize blood circulation. Without this gradual adjustment, individuals may experience a rapid decline in heart rate, which can lead to a feeling of lightheadedness or dizziness.

The physiological response to stopping exercise abruptly, especially after an aerobic workout, can result in blood pooling in the extremities and diminished blood flow to the brain, causing dizziness. This underscores the importance of a proper cooldown, which can enhance recovery and overall safety following an aerobic workout.

The other choices pertain to benefits that typically come from properly implemented cooldowns and gradual recovery processes rather than the scenario described, where the absence of a cooldown can lead to adverse effects.
