Fatigue after a soccer game: no effect of active recovery
Neuromuscular and biochemical parameters were evaluated at rest, at the end as well as in the days after a game in 17 elite female soccer players. Players performed either active or passive recovery in the hours after the match. CMJ performance and peak isokinetic strength of the knee extensors and flexors were still reduced 21 h after the game (~ 5%, ~ 6% and ~ 4%, respectively). Blood creatine kinase and perceived muscle soreness increased and remained elevated until 45 h after the game. No differences were observed between the two types of recovery.
Recommendations: Strength training sessions for the legs should not be performed the day after a game and players do not necessarily need to carry out light activities after a game.

jeg har selv testet ut 6*4 min 90% av max HF. og trent tung styrke dagen etterpå.

resultatene viste at tung styrketrening, ga mindre melkesyre, lettere bein å springe med, mindre sårhet i musklene dagen etterpå.

stiller meg meget undrende til dette forsøket!!
