RECOVERY STATE EVALUATED BY TWO METHODS AFTER PHYSICAL FITNESS TEST

CURTY, V. M.; BARA FILHO, M. G. Recovery state evaluated by two methods after physical fitness test. Brazilian Journal of Biomotricity. v. 5, n. 3, p. 186-199, 2011. Currently, search is a simple and effective method to control the training load and recovery. This purpose, the total quality recovery scale is an interesting method to be used with other methods. The aim of this study was to analyze the behavior of the recovery after the physical fitness test through the use of the total quality recovery scale and creatine kinase. Twenty-eight men (age: 18,5 ± 0,4 years), that would perform the the physical fitness test, participated voluntarily in the study. Intensity of effort was classified by the scale of perceived exertion created by Borg (1982). All were submitted to three blood samples (pre-test, 24 and 72 hours after the tests) and they answered how they felt physically by according to the recovery scale to assess the quality of recovery before and after the physical tests. ANOVA was used to test the significance of effects of physically test about the creatine kinase levels and the recovery scale. The level of creatine kinase didn’t answer significantly both in samples 24 (192,9 ± 41,3) as in samples in 72 hours (178,0 ± 33,2a) after the test related to pre-test levels (182,7 ± 52,1). However, observing the quality of recovery through of scale, was observed less values at the recovery as 24 (12,5 ± 3,4) as 72 hours (14,6 ± 4,3) after the tests, related to the values pre-tests (18,3 ± 1,6). Could be observed an inadequate recovery 72 hours after the test through of scale, even the serum activity of creatine kinase not showing significant changes in relation to the physical test run.
