Consequently, mild aerobic activities during the first one-half of recovery help STO muscle systems to metabolize lactic acid accumulations. Metabolizing lactic acid decreases the time athletes require to recover from anaerobic training phases. Anaerobic athletes' breathing and heart rates should return to normal for several minutes before they start another anaerobic training interval. Anaerobic recovery intervals' time periods should be at least six times the anaerobic training intervals' time periods. Aerobic Recovery Intervals Aerobic training intervals produce carbon-dioxide and water.
Aerobic athletes activate oxygen transport systems and metabolize muscle triglycerides.
Other than fluids that all athletes should replenish during recovery intervals, aerobic athletes require nothing. Nevertheless, aerobic athletes' breathing and heart rates should return to normal before they start another aerobic training interval, Aerobic training intervals' time periods should be at least three times the aerobic training intervals' time periods.
