心拍数変動からみた Active Rest の基礎的研究

Rapid recovery is important to those who participate in sports activities or physical training. Although many recovery techniques have been tried and are currently being used all over the world, none have been adequately proven through controlled research how to give more effective recovery. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to clarify for means of assuring more effective Active Rest. Active Rest is a typical recovery technique that might give a way in speeding recovery from fatigue by doing light exercises, walking or jogging. The results were summarized as follows : 1) Rapid heart rate recovery was more obvious when Active Rest was taken 1-min. after exercise than when just after exercise. 2) Heart rate recovery was more effective when Active Rest was taken at 40% of experimental work load than 60%. 3) Heart rate recovery was more effective when the work load was decreased stepwise during Active Rest than when one was fixed
