Active recovery xxxxxx

Goals: To promote and speed up muscle recovery after intensive training to reduce tiredness.

Benefits of electrostimulation Electrostimulation helps to:
- eliminate waste from muscle contractions thanks to a significant increase in blood flow
- relieve pain
- relax and contract the muscles
Helps to prevent aches and pains and increases the benefits of the training and the athlete’s progress.

Explanation and protocol: Each training session (and also, even more, the actual race!) is a stress on the body which will institute repair measures enabling it to develop physical qualities under stress. The times needed for this recovery period depend on the type and intensity of the training session, as well as the measures taken to encourage this essential period of physical preparation. It is in this context that recovery today occupies an increasingly important place for training specialists, whose objective is to optimise performance. At muscular level, recovery can be assisted greatly by using the Active recovery programme, with which the following effects are recognised within the framework of various medical indications: increased local blood circulation, increased natural production of endorphins (pain-relieving effect), reduction of muscle tone = relaxing effect.
This programme, which must be used within the 3 hours following the end of the effort, speeds up the recovery process and thus increases the benefits of the training and the athlete's progress.
