Active Recovery
Low-intensity exercise; assists in removing lactic acid and promoting blood flow to reduce muscle stiffness.
Cooling Down
Gradual reduction of exercise intensity; aids in the dispersion of lactic acid and recovery of the cardiovascular system.
Heat Therapy
Use of heat packs or saunas; improves muscle flexibility, blood flow, and can aid in healing of injuries.
Massage
Therapeutic manipulation of body tissues; promotes relaxation, improves circulation, and aids in the recovery process.
Electrostimulation
Use of electrical currents; stimulates muscles to improve strength and facilitate recovery by enhancing blood flow.
Contrast Water Therapy
Alternating immersion in hot and cold water; promotes recovery by stimulating blood flow and reducing muscle soreness.
Normatec Compression
Dynamic compression device; molds to the body's exact shape, enhancing blood flow and accelerating recovery.
Hydrotherapy
Use of water for pain relief and treatment; enhances recovery through buoyancy, hydrostatic pressure, and temperature effects.
Yoga
A physical, mental, and spiritual practice; improves flexibility, balance, and recovery through relaxation and breathing exercises.
Sleep
Essential for physical and cognitive recovery; improves muscle repair, memory consolidation, and hormonal balance.
Cryotherapy
Exposure to extremely cold temperatures; reduces inflammatory response and muscle pain, accelerates recovery.
Myofascial Release (Foam Rolling)
Self-massage technique; reduces muscle tightness and trigger points, improving mobility and aiding recovery.
Stretching
Exercises aimed at improving flexibility; can help prevent injury and improve blood circulation.
Nutrition
Balanced intake of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats for energy and muscle repair; supports immune function and overall recovery.
Cold Therapy
Application of ice or immersion in cold water; reduces inflammation, muscle soreness, and aids short-term recovery.
Psychological Recovery
Mental and emotional strategies; reduces stress and anxiety, improving overall well-being and performance readiness.
Hydration
Replenishment of fluids lost through sweat; critical for maintaining performance and aiding metabolic processes.
Compression Clothing
Tight, elastic clothing that applies pressure; enhances circulation, reduces muscle soreness, and accelerates recovery time.
Breathing Exercises
Controlled breathing patterns; enhances relaxation, reduces stress levels, and improves oxygen delivery to muscles.
Inversion Therapy
Hanging upside down or at an inverted angle; reduces spinal pressure and improves circulation.
