Introduction and objectives:The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of electrostimulation and core exercises on recovery after high-intensity exercise. Methods: The participants of this study consists of 12 male bodybuilders who regularly train and between the ages 18-30. Tabata high intensity interval training (HIIT) was applied with different recovery methods to the athletes on three different days and the recovery levels of athletes were analyzed. Heart rate and blood lactate levels were measured at baseline (PRE) at immediately after the HIIT (POST), at the 1 minutes after HIIT (1min), at the 5 minutes after HIIT (5min), and at the 10 minutes after HIIT (10min). On the rest days, serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and serum creatine kinase (CK) measurements were done to determine the muscle damage. Results: The ingroup comparisons for lactate levels showed no significant difference (p>0,01). The level of lactate on the 10min was found to be significantly lower than the 5min in the core exercise group (p<0,01). Similarly in the electrostimulation group, 10m lactate levels are significantly lower than 5min (p<0,01). There were no statistically significant differences in the heart rate measurements (p<0,01). The results showed no statistically significant difference between the groups although the averages of LDH and CK showed variations (p>0,01). These results show that the lactate level reaches to the maximum level after HIIT, and the level of lactate decreases between the 5th and the 10th minutes. Discussion and conclusion:These indicate that the active recovery methods are more effective than the passive. It was found that the active recovery methods accelerate the lactate removal from the metabolism and provide effective recovery in short time during the recovery period after exercise.

“…Modalities used for recovery include massage, active recovery, cryotherapy, contrast temperature water immersion therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs, stretching, compression therapy, electromyostimulation and combination modalities [15]. As compared to passive rest, applying recovery modalities might enhance recovery [16] by various mechanisms such as, increased blood flow causing metabolic by-product removal [17] and increased vessel permeability that would reduce muscle damage markers efflux [18]. Moreover, compression and electrical stimulation are the most widely used interventions for rehabilitation and recovery purposes.…”

Objective: To compare the effects of Intermittent Pneumatic Compression (IPC) vs. Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) on recovery following anaerobic exercise. Design: Three-arm comparative pretest-posttest experimental design Setting: University Sports complex and Physiotherapy Clinic. Participants: Twenty-four male collegiate basketball players aged 18-25 yrs (mean± SD 20.4±1.8 yrs) Interventions: Participants were randomly assigned into one of the 3 groups; IPC group (n=8), NMES group (n=8) or control group (n=8). Each group performed a repeated sprint test (RAST) following which, the subjects received IPC, NMES or no intervention as a recovery mode, for 20 minutes. Main outcome measures: Blood lactate recorded prior to and at 5, 15 and 25 min following the RAST. Following recovery, subjects performed another bout of RAST to assess for peak power, mean power, and fatigue index, as parameters of anaerobic performance. Results: There was a significant difference in the clearance of blood lactate between three groups (p=0.006*), with NMES group showing greatest drop. The performance decrements in the second bout of RAST were significantly less for the NMES group as compared to control (p<0.05). Conclusion: NMES was more effective than IPC or passive rest, in clearing blood lactate and minimizing performance decrements following an anaerobic exercise bout.

“…Several strategies are used in sports to aid the recovery process, including massage, active recovery, water immersion, contrast bathing, and macronutrient supplementation (2,14). Each exercise protocol or sport competition can result in various magnitudes of alterations in physiological or psychological or both alterations (e.g., increased soft tissue damage, increased fatigue states, increased core temperature, and so on) (12,40).…”

This study aimed to investigate the effects of wearing a whole body compression garment on recovery from a typical heavy resistance training workout in resistance trained men and women. Fourteen men (mean ± SD: age, 23.0 ± 2.9 years) and fourteen women (mean ± SD: age 23.1 ± 2.2 years) who were highly resistance trained gave informed consent to participate in the study. A within-group (each subject acted as their own control), balanced, and randomized treatment design was used. Nutritional intakes, activity, and behavioral patterns (e.g., no pain medications, ice, or long showers over the 24 hours) were replicated 2 days before each test separated by 72 hours. An 6-exercise whole body heavy resistance exercise protocol using barbells (10 repetition of 3 sets at 70% of one-repetition maximum, 2.0 minute rest) was performed after which the subject showered and put on a specific whole body compression garment one designed for women and one for men (CG) or just wore his/her normal noncompression clothing (CON). Subjects were then tested after 24 hours. Dependent measures included sleep quality, vitality rating, resting fatigue rating, muscle soreness, muscle swelling via ultrasound, reaction movement times, bench throw power, countermovement vertical jump power, and serum concentrations of creatine kinase (CK) measured from a blood sample obtained via venipuncture of an arm vein. We observed significant (p≤ 0.05) differences between CG and CON conditions in both men and women for vitality (CG , CON), resting fatigue ratings (CG , CON), muscle soreness (CG , CON), ultrasound measure swelling (CG , CON), bench press throw (CG .CON), and CK (CG, CON). A whole body compression garment worn during the 24-hour recovery period after an intense heavy resistance training workout enhances various psychological, physiological, and a few performance markers of recovery compared with noncompressive control garment conditions. Wearing a CG appears to help in the recovery process after intense heavy resistance training in men and women.
