WBUR - 354 PM - cardiac expert says that vigorous exercise should be
preceded by warm up and followed by cooldown - Dr Eric Bagash at MGH -
5 to 10 minutes each

The heart just works better this way - and with less stress - maybe
with fewer adverse events also

After the cool down - should be able to speak in full sentences, and
hard breathing and sweating should have stopped

If walking up stairs for exercise - make first flights easy - then do
some flights quickly - then do some flights slowly near the top

I dont know how this can translate to firefighting where firefighters
sometimes have to go from 0 to 60 MPH in a minute - maybe it is
important to have a minimum response time (maybe 2 minutes) in order
to bring the heart up to speed - or maybe some meds or vitamins /
supplements would fit the bill - maybe less coffee would keep the
heart from going crazy
