Effect of Active Arm Exercise and Passive Recovery in Physiological Parameters, Perceived Exertion and Subsequent Performance after High-Intensity Intermittent Exercises
Journal Title: Biology of Exercise - Year 2013, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
Lactic acid removal after intense exercise is critical during athletic competition involving repetitive high-intensity activities. The purpose was to find out the effect of arm exercise on the recovery from high-intensity intermittent exercise. Ten male athletes selected based on criteria were randomly divided into experimental and control groups. The subjects were made to run in the treadmill to reach the Target Heart Rate and completed several 1min bouts of exercises with rest for 15-s in between until exhaustion. Then the subjects were assigned to either Passive rest or Active arm recovery for 10 minutes. Heart rate, Respiratory rate, Blood pressure, Temperature were measured before and after completed the exercise bouts and after the recovery. After the recovery in both experimental and control group showed significant improvement (p < 0.05) found in all the parameters except diastolic blood pressure and Axillary temperature in both groups. But no significant difference (p > 0.05) found in all the parameters except that of systolic blood pressure between the groups. It is concluded that both Active arm and passive recovery are same in the efficiency of restoration of physiological parameters following intense intermittent exercise.
