Recovery strategies after matches in professional footballers

Methodology

Systematic review with meta-analysis

Findings

Effects of post-match recovery strategies in professional male footballers.

Limitations

The participants are professional footballers and the context is competition recovery. That's not a usable basis for someone in their fifties training twice a week.

Practical conclusion for REZA

Deliberately included as an example of research REZA does not use. Many popular recovery products are sold on the back of this type of research, without anyone mentioning who it was tested on.
