Recovery fitness is projected to reach $1.5 billion by 2025, driven by demand for products like massage guns, sleep trackers, and more. Recovery methods emphasize passive self-care but can also include cost-free active recovery techniques. Active recovery days, integrated into training, can alleviate soreness, prevent injury, and enhance overall training. A 2022 study highlights benefits such as improved flexibility, decreased inflammation, and maintenance of muscle strength. Additionally, active recovery aids in the clear-out of blood lactate, contributing to better performance and mental clarity.
Active recovery helps clear blood lactate, the pesky metabolic byproduct that builds up during exercise and contributes to muscle fatigue.
According to a 2022 study published in the Strength and Conditioning Journal, various active recovery protocols showed alleviation of soreness, prevention of muscle strength loss, improvement in flexibility and a decrease in inflammation.
