Laktat i förhållande till prestation : Aktiv återhämtningspåverkan på prestation och laktatnivå

Sammanfattning: Background: An experimental design in used where 3 (2x100m) freestyle were performed on two test occasions with active recovery and passive recovery on one occasion each. Lactate certificates were taken before and after each set and the swimmers told with the help of a "VAS-scale" how tired they felt after each set. Results: The results showed that active recovery had a significant effect on lactate disappearence in the body compared with passive recovery and a positive effect on the subsequent maximum performance. Conclusion: Swimmers who perform active recovery between the maximum performaces in competion may have a better performace in the subsequent maximum performace than if they ar subjected to passive recovery.
