Recovery Process- Returning the body to its pre-exercise state. - It is concerned with events occurring after the performer has completed exercise. - Respiratory and cardiovascular system remaining working above that of resting level to speed up recovery in time for next performance. - The body takes in extra oxygen and transports in to working muscles, surplus energy is then used to return the body to its pre-exercise state (EPOC).
Myoglobin- Red pigment in muscles, it stores oxygen before passing it on to the mitochondria for aerobic respiration.
Glycogen Replenishment:
The bodys store of muscle and liver glycogen can quickly deplete, this is a major factor in muscle fatigue. Also, the stores of glycogen are small compared to those of FFAs, therefore it is important to conserve them in order not to cross the lactate threshold. Replenishment of glycogen is dependent on the type of exercise undertaken and how much carbohydrate is consumed following exercise. Significant amounts are restored in < 1 hour of long-duration, low-intensity exercise. Most glycogen is replenished after 10-12 hours, but it may take several days for complete restoration.
