Abstract

Athletes competing at the highest level, should optimally balance training and competition stress with adequate recovery. However, athletes are not always aware of the available recovery options. This study investigated the recovery modalities currently used by elite South African sports persons. Research questions focused on types and frequency of recovery strategies used by players from four different sport codes (hockey, netball, rugby and soccer), as well as from different levels of participation. A total of 890 elite South African team sport players (507 males; 383 females) completed a questionnaire, specifically designed for the study. Results showed that recovery modalities are used to varying degrees by players from the four different sport codes, as well as from different levels of participation. The postmatch recovery modality used the most by hockey, netball and soccer players was an active cool-down. Rugby players used a strategy for rehydration the most. The frequency of using an active cool-down and rehydration was not affected by level of participation. There seems to be an increased need for player and coach education regarding recovery modalities.

使用恢复模式的精英南非队运动员

在最高水平的比赛中，运动员应该在训练和比赛压力之间达到最佳平衡，并有足够的恢复。然而，运动员并不总是知道可用的恢复选择。本研究调查了南非精英运动员目前使用的康复方式。研究问题集中在四种不同运动(曲棍球、无挡板篮球、橄榄球和足球)以及不同参与水平的球员使用的恢复策略的类型和频率上。共有890名南非精英体育运动员(男性507人;383名女性)完成了一份专门为这项研究设计的调查问卷。结果表明，四种不同运动规范和不同参与水平的运动员对恢复方式的使用程度不同。曲棍球、无挡板篮球和足球运动员使用最多的赛后恢复方式是主动冷却。橄榄球运动员使用的补水策略最多。使用主动冷却和补液的频率不受参与水平的影响。似乎越来越需要对球员和教练进行有关恢复方式的教育。
