How to recover faster after your workout?

What influences your recovery?

When you demand a lot from your body, it is crucial to take your recovery seriously. After a long run, an intensive bike ride, or a strenuous hike, your body needs time to recover. According to classic training theory, you must alternate periods of exertion and recovery to make progress. 'Supercompensation'... perhaps you've heard of it. By resting after a workout, the body recovers (compensates), after which it reaches a 'higher level' to be able to handle the next training stimulus. So, you could say that after a training impulse, the body recovers beyond its original sports performance level. However, the extent of this recovery strongly depends on many factors: the intensity of your training, the removal of fluids and waste products (lactic acid), your nutrition, sleep, and stress.

The effect of a sports massage

Many athletes occasionally visit a physiotherapist or masseur for a sports massage. Such a massage aims to stimulate blood flow to the muscles. The masseur ensures that waste products from the combustion process are removed more quickly and can loosen connective tissue or remove muscle knots. This promotes the recovery of your muscles and body.

It's understandable that you don't always have time to go directly to your physiotherapist or masseur, especially if you have a busy schedule, work a lot, or exercise abroad during your holiday. In that case, the Compry Recovery systemfrom Herzog can provide a solution. With Compry Recovery, you essentially always have your own masseur within reach.

Of course, you don't have to be a top athlete to benefit from this recovery equipment. Do you need a daily massage during periods of extensive training and want to get the most out of your sports performance? WithCompry Recoveryyou always have your masseur at hand.
