Study Notes
Factors Affecting Fatigue
- Intensity, duration, and type of muscle contraction (isometric, isotonic) affect fatigue
- Training status, nutritional status, environmental conditions, and type of activity also influence fatigue
- Hydration levels play a role in fatigue
Factors Affecting Recovery Rate
- Age: recovery rate slows down after 25 years old
- Gender affects recovery rate
- Environmental factors such as altitude and temperature influence recovery
- Freedom of movement and type of muscle fiber (fast twitch) affect recovery rate
- Type of exercise (endurance training) and nutrient availability impact recovery
- Injury status affects recovery rate
Recovery Curve
- Heart rate and blood pressure return to normal within 20-60 minutes
- Glycogen restoration takes 10-48 hours after aerobic exercise and 5-28 hours after anaerobic intermittent exercise
- Protein restoration takes 12-24 hours
- Fat, vitamins, and enzymes restoration takes more than 24 hours
Natural Means of Recovery
- Active Rest (Kinotherapy): 10-20 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise or stretching after strenuous exercise
- Passive Rest (Complete Rest): sleep is the main physiological means to restore working capacity
Stretch Therapy
- Enhances performance by increasing muscle flexibility
- Promotes healing of microinjuries
- Increases elasticity and strength of muscles, joints, tendons, and ligaments
- Develops a balance between agonist and antagonist muscles
- Increases blood supply to local muscles
- Hastens drainage and prevents swelling
- Produces muscular relaxation
Physiotherapeutic Means of Recovery
- Massage: increases blood circulation, lymphatic circulation, and stretches for muscle adhesions
- Heat Therapy (Thermotherapy): promotes sweating, increases blood flow, and excretes toxins
- Cold Therapy (Cryotherapy): reduces pain, increases blood flow, and raises oxygen levels
- Contrast baths, oxygenotherapy, aerotherapy, altitude cure, and acupuncture/acupressure are also used
Massage and Heat Therapy
- Massage increases blood circulation, relieves muscle fatigue, and removes excessive swelling
- Heat therapy promotes sweating, increases blood flow, and excretes toxins
