How it works
Increases blood flow to sore muscles, accelerating lactate clearance and metabolic waste removal. Stimulates mild prostaglandin production that supports muscle repair without adding mechanical stress.
Intensity must be genuinely low — 50–60% of maximum heart rate. The common error is performing 'active recovery' at too high an intensity, which simply adds more fatigue.
Getting started
This is a lifestyle-based approach. Start gradually and consult a health professional if you have any concerns about suitability for your situation.
