Enhance recovery with a 20-40 minute recovery session immediately after
a race, game or high intensity session. Even though you heart rate may
have normalized you may still have elevated levels of lactate. Keep
moving to avoid pooling of blood in the legs. A recovery session (30-40
minutes) can also be
used the day following a fatiguing high intensity training session,
game or race to increase blood flow to the tired muscles and decrease
edema and muscle soreness.
