The Importance of Athletic Recovery

Athletes, you know the importance of working out, keeping your body in top shape and pushing yourself to reach new personal bests. With so much motivation to break your own records and grow day by day, active recovery is at risk of being forgotten.

Active recovery training entails lower intensity workouts, including walking, jogging, and yoga. Active recovery workouts can be performed in between HIIT training sessions and high intensity sports sessions, to break up your workout routine and keep you moving while you recover. Many athletes schedule active recovery days, where they focus on lighter, low intensity workouts rather than choosing not to work out at all on their off-days. The power of active recovery can also be enhanced with high-tech sports clothing designed for cold conditions, and milder climates, as best suits your needs.

 

Why is Recovery Important for Athletes?

There has been extensive research into active versus passive recovery techniques, and the benefits of active recovery for athletes.

Active recovery techniques are used by athletes who aim to keep their blood flowing and help muscles recover and rebuild after an intense work out.

How Can I Improve My Athletic Recovery?

There are multiple ways to improve your athletic recovery process. If you’re not already doing the following, give these pro athlete recovery methods a try:

• Schedule athletic recovery exercises into your routine, and choose to stay active on your off-days instead of tending towards passive recovery days.
• Try out new active recovery exercises until you find one you enjoy.
• Try massage and hydromassage to help hardworking muscles recover.
• Invest in athletic recovery clothing that keeps muscles warm and ready to work, between events.
• Make sure you get enough sleep.
• Prioritize nutrition.
• Stretch before and after workouts to promote athletic recovery.
