On February 8, the Educational and Scientific Institute of Physical Culture, Sports and Rehabilitation hosted a guest lecture by Larysa Mykhailivna Gunina, Doctor of Biological Sciences, Professor of the Department of Rehabilitation Technologies and Physical Culture and Sports Rehabilitation of the State Tax University of Ukraine, a member of the Commission of the National Olympic Committee of Ukraine, , for first (bachelor) level applicants of higher education, specialty 017 Physical culture and sports. The topic of the lecture is "Postload recovery in sports and fitness".
At the lecture, one of the most important modern issues of stimulation of working capacity during physical exertion in sports and fitness was considered - post-exercise recovery and its acceleration. The relevance of this topic is due to the following factors:
1. Coaches and researchers assume that accelerated recovery allows athletes to train more and, thus, contributes to the development of motor qualities (primarily speed, strength, endurance), technical characteristics and increasing the efficiency of competitive activities.
2. Although most coaches recognize that recovery is critical in a sports environment, they often lack knowledge of what recovery methods and monitoring tools are available (Hooper S., 2019).
3. Elite coaches seek to use evidence-based, evidence-based research into athlete recovery methods to optimize training load and ensure further growth in physical and functional fitness (Williams J.S. et al., 2016).
