They help reduce the risk of injury during physical activity. Warming up helps stretch out your muscles. If you just jump into strenuous activity without warming up, you could tear a muscle if you haven't stretched it. Cooling down helps you slowly return your heart rate to normal and relax your muscles after a vigorous workout, avoiding cramping.
