Summary

The aim of this study is to compare these three different recovery methods following a single bout high-intensity interval exercise program with each other in terms of blood lactate clearance, muscle flexibility, muscle strength and endurance.

Detailed description

It is very important to choose the most effective recovery method for the athletes in training for their next training/competition. The recovery period is very significant in terms of removal of blood lactate and body dynamics as soon as they return to their original state and achieve high performance. Neither neuromuscular electrical stimulation, low-intensity aerobic exercise, self-massage with foam roller methods, which have been proven their effectiveness in the literature, have been compared with each other.

• Exercise Training

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Active Recovery Group	Participants in this group will exercise for 15 minutes, for a range of 65 to 70% of the maximum heart rate as a recovery method following a single bout high-intensity interval exercise program
OTHER	Self-Massage with Foam Roller Group	This group will perform 15 minutes self-massage with foam roller following the exercise session as a recovery method following a single bout high-intensity interval exercise program.
OTHER	Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation	Participants of this group will be applied electrical stimulation on quadriceps femoris and hamstring muscles for 15 minutes while they are comfortable lying position as a recovery method following a single bout high-intensity interval exercise program.
