C is correct. A cool down promotes blood flow and helps remove metabolic by-products, assisting recovery between games.

Other options:

A is incorrect: Sleep is more appropriate for longer-term recovery when sufficient time is available.
B is incorrect: Relaxation can reduce psychological stress but provides less immediate physical recovery between games.
D is incorrect: Hydrotherapy can assist recovery but is less practical and immediately beneficial than an active cool down between games.
