RECOVERY STRATEGY IN SPORTS

Abstract

The process of returning the body to normal after any workout is called recovery. Good recovery is the process that allows an athlete to recover from fatigue caused by training or competition and replenish their energy reserves. These days, athletes in most sports train very hard 2-3 times a day. In fact, players working for top clubs may have to play in an international cup match, a league match, a domestic cup match or their country's domestic match in the same week. This condition exposes athletes to the stress of travel as well as the physiological stress they experience during competition and training. Such strenuous training, competition and travel can cause a temporary decrease in the performance of athletes. Exerting before full recovery can lead to chronic fatigue in the athlete, and chronic fatigue can lead to injury. Physiological and psychological recovery of athletes must be programmed within training to avoid overtraining syndrome and achieve optimal results. For a long time, sports scientists and coaches have been trying to find the most suitable recovery method for athletes to achieve full recovery. Optimal performance is possible by maintaining a balance between load and recovery, so stretching, massage, immersion therapy at different temperatures, contrast baths or showers, aerobics. It should be used to speed up recovery after low-intensity activities such as running, swimming, pool walking, strenuous workouts or competitions. The creation and implementation of promising recovery programs will allow athletes to rest before subsequent training and competitions, and therefore will increase their competitive and training results. The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of recovery on performance by examining recovery research in the literature and to serve as a reference for future research on this topic.
