METHODS: We conducted an umbrella review based on a literature search in PubMed, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and Web of Science. Reviews published in English and before December 2022 were included. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses were eligible if they investigated the effectiveness of one or more recovery strategies compared with a placebo or control group after a training session in endurance athletes.
RESULTS: Twenty-two reviews (nine systematic reviews, three meta-analyses, and ten systematic reviews with meta-analyses included) met the inclusion criteria. In total, sixty-three studies with 1100 endurance athletes were included in our umbrella review. Out of the sixty-three studies, eight provided information on training recovery time frame for data synthesis. Among them, cryotherapy and compression garments showed positive effects, while applying massage showed no effect. In general, none of the included recovery strategies showed consistent benefits for endurance athletes.
CONCLUSIONS: There is no particular recovery strategy that can be advised to enhance recovery between training sessions or competitions in endurance athletes. However, individual studies suggest that compression garments and cryotherapy are effective training recovery strategies. Further research should improve methodology and focus on the different time courses of the recovery process.
BACKGROUND: The review protocol was registered with the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews with the number CRD42021260509.
方法:我们根据PubMed的文献检索进行了综述,Cochrane系统评价数据库,和WebofScience。包括在2022年12月之前以英文发布的评论。如果在耐力运动员的训练后,与安慰剂或对照组相比,系统评价和荟萃分析调查了一种或多种恢复策略的有效性,则符合资格。
结果:22篇综述(9篇系统综述,三个荟萃分析,和包含荟萃分析的十篇系统综述)符合纳入标准。总的来说,我们对1100名耐力运动员的63项研究纳入了我们的综述。在63项研究中,8提供了有关数据合成的训练恢复时间框架的信息。其中,冷冻疗法和压缩服装显示出积极的效果,而应用按摩没有效果。总的来说,纳入的恢复策略均未显示对耐力运动员的持续获益.
结论:没有特别的恢复策略可以建议在耐力运动员的训练或比赛之间提高恢复。然而,个别研究表明,压缩服装和冷冻疗法是有效的训练恢复策略。进一步的研究应改进方法,并侧重于恢复过程的不同时间过程。
背景:审查方案已在国际前瞻性系统审查注册中心注册,编号为CRD42021260509。
