TO RECOVER

WHAT IS RECOVERY?

In parallel with the ever-growing recreational sports and fitness activities, a correct way of recovery is getting more and more attention and the more active athletes are recognizing the benefits. In recent years, more than ever, people have taken up sports and exercise, millions of athletes have started their favorite activities in competition or simply as a hobby. However, many of these active people are still insufficiently aware of the importance of recovery in sports; called “Recovery principle".

PRINCIPLE

To benefit from an (intensive) training, the body needs time to recover. This will not only benefit the subsequent training sessions, it also lowers the risk of injuries. In most cases an athlete has one goal: to become fitter and stronger so that the body gets more resistance and the performance level increases.

“It is during the recovery periods that the body builds up more resistance”.

HOW DOES IT WORK

During (intensive) training sessions, the body is exposed to a form of stress.

• The body will adapt to this stress during exercising. However, the body must also get enough rest to process this adjustment so that it can handle the load level (better) during the next training.
• Someone who does a lot of short sprints during ie. ball sports (football, basket, tennis,…) minuscule hairline cracks will occur in the muscle tissue. The body will not only repair this “damage”, on top it will add extra tissue so it can better withstand the stress that's created in the following sports session.
• If not at all or a too short period of rest is taken to repair this "muscle damage" and to bie time for the body to adjust to the intensity, it can NOT keep up with the damage repair and eventually an injury occurs, often in the form of strains or muscle tears.

FAST RECOVERY MUSCLE GEL

The natural ingredients in our FAST RECOVERY MUSCLE GEL are fully aimed to repair small damages in the muscle tissue, incurred during (heavy) efforts.

The below listed ingredients are in such proportions included in our gel so they optimally “work together” during the recovery process. The effectiveness of each ingredient are scientifically proven.

The collaboration of these ingredients results in a very effective product that provides a long-lasting and restorative effect.

ARNICA MONTANA

ARNICA

Scientific research (4) has shown that arnica significantly contributes to the prevention and cure of inflammation. It also has analgesic properties.

SALVIA ROSMARINUS

ROSEMARY

Revitalizes and stimulates blood circulation, has bactericidal properties which makes the bloodstream free from toxins and free-radicals.

HIPPOCASTANUM

HORSE CHESTNUT
