Investigation into optimal recovery methods between frequent road race competitions. 60 competitive road racers were divided into active recovery (light jogging, stretching) and passive recovery (complete rest) groups following standardized 10K time trials. Blood markers including creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, and inflammatory cytokines were measured at 24, 48, and 72 hours post-race. Active recovery group showed faster normalization of all biomarkers.
