Different techniques target specific aspects of the recovery process: Primary Benefit Key Evidence Reduces muscle soreness (DOMS) and perceived fatigue.
: Complete rest (sitting or lying down), which may be more effective for glycogen resynthesis and total central nervous system rest. Recovery Modalities & Effectiveness
Create a for a specific training volume
Effective for reducing DOMS and perceived fatigue up to 96 hours post-exercise. Promotes circulation via alternating hot/cold water.
: Resting heart rate (RHR) and heart rate variability (HRV).
Sports science typically identifies three fundamental areas that must be optimized before considering advanced modalities: :
