It has been shown that after performing resistance exercise to the point of exhaustion, recovery from exercise (recovery from fatigue) occurs most efficiently if:
A)The fatigued muscle rests completely during recovery.
B)Cold is applied to the fatigued muscle.
C)The patient performs low-intensity, active exercise using the fatigued muscle.
D)The muscle is passively stretched during recovery.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The patient performing low-intensity, active exercise using the fatigued muscle has been shown to enhance recovery from fatigue after resistance exercise. This can improve blood flow and nutrients to the muscle, promoting repair and growth. Resting completely may not provide the necessary stimulus for muscle recovery, while cold application may help with pain management but may not enhance recovery. Passive stretching may also help with pain management but may not be as effective as active exercise for promoting recovery.
