Background: Runners can perform training runs designed to elicit desired adaptations for future competition. When performed at a high-intensity, these running bouts will lead to fatigue that needs to be diminished to sustain the desired workload for the training session. Performing an active recovery or remaining passive are two methods that runners could use.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of active vs passive recovery on a subsequent running bout of 400 meters in recreational adult runners. It was hypothesized that the active recovery condition would maintain performance better than passive recovery.
Methods: A crossover …
