Simple Recovery Strategies
Recovery: the time it takes takes to get the body back to homeostasis. Research of the effects of recovery in terms of performance is still advancing, but it has not looked into the underlying mechanisms of the various recovery strategies list below and why they work. Research has typically looked at the type of exercise performed and the amount of fatigued induced. In the body, researchers look at biomarkers of muscle damage and inflammation: creatine kinase and myoglobin. They also look at changes in blood flow, fatigue, soreness, and perceptual measures of recovery. Recovery strategies typically target areas of muscle soreness, body and muscle temperature, inflammation, blood flow, and mental fatigue. Your recovery process should start immediately after completion of exercise, practice, or the game and should be built…
