Why is a do-it-yourself recovery system needed?
Professional levels of any sport are well catered for in the areas of injury treatment, recovery andrehabilitation-they have doctors, trainers, physical therapists and masseurs on tap-the other levels maybe lucky just to have a sports trainer to deal with any problems
The rest? Tough luck you are on your own!
Whatever sport or activity you do or play, running, marathon, fun run, football, soccer, hiking, golf,tennis, badminton, basketball, netball, walking, judo, cycling, rugby, race walking, ultra marathon,triathlon skateboarding, surfing, ice skating, the end result is the same, if you get after sport sorenessand stiffness, you have to recover from it
While most people have training and winning strategies they do not have any recoverystrategy

Muscle recovery after sport is based on supplying oxygen and nutrients to them asquickly as possible
To maintain the supply a balance between what goes into the muscles and what comes out of them isimportant-if fresh oxygen rich blood can't enter the muscle tissues levels the muscles fatigue
To keep the balance the body has a circulatory system; part of it takes fresh blood to the musclespumped there by the heart through the arteries-another part of the system takes the used blood awayback to the body where it is re-nourished with oxygen and nutrients and recirculated again.
The Calf Muscle Pump is the major player in getting rid of the rubbish out of thelegs so fresh blood can
The muscle pump is made up of all the leg muscles and together they form a pump which forces usedblood against gravity up the legs back to the body for recycling by alternately putting pressure on thevenous system and releasing itThe veins which take blood back to the body have one-way valves in them-as the muscles squeeze,they open the valves, letting blood pass through them; when the tension is released, they close stoppingthe blood flowing back down towards the feetLack of movement reduces the veins ability to open and close by keeping constant tension on them, thisis called calf muscle pump inefficiency
Problems caused by calf muscle pump inefficiency include
•
Poor circulation
•
Lymph system inactivity
•
Venous return reduced
How user friendly?
I worked for 24 hours off this chair (next to the bottles) without any equipment in unhygienic conditions
