| Food and Fitness: recovery |
The physiological processes that restore the body to its pre-exercise condition after exercise. Recovery includes replenishment of muscle glycogen and phosphagen (the energy stores in the muscles); removal of lactic acid and other metabolites (the waste products of muscle activity); reoxygenation of myoglobin (the special respiratory pigment which provides muscles with an extra source of oxygen); and replacement of protein (needed to repair muscles damaged during exercise). Recovery can be accelerated by ensuring body fluids lost in sweat are replaced with water; by replacing mineral salts lost in sweat (especially sodium and potassium); and by eating enough nutrients (especially foods that can be converted to muscle glycogen) to replace those lost during the exercise. See also rest.
