Abstract：
The objective of this study was to assess the perceived usefulness, actual use and limitations for the application of recovery strategies among water polo (WP) players and their coaches around the world. A total of 231 WP players and 76 coaches representing all continents, both genders and all levels of competition, completed a freely accessible online survey. This was divided into three sections: sociodemographic data (8 questions), importance of perceived usefulness of recovery strategies (3 questions), and actual use of recovery methods (6 questions). The majority of players and coaches considered recovery strategies as very important (52.4% and 59.2%, respectively) and posttraining session (28.1% and 26.5%) were the most frequently used times. The most selected reasons to justify their use were to reduce the injury risk (30.4% and 26.9%) and the most limitation to the use of recovery strategies were that they are too time-consuming (34.9% and 29%). In the case of the players, stretching were the strategies perceived as most useful and used (12.7% and 18.1%); and in the case of the coaches, it was active recovery (11.2% and 15%). The present study suggests a degree of discrepancy between the scientific literature and the research participants\' perceptions and usages of recovery methods. This information may be of interest for coaches and technical staff of WP teams to look for appropriate recovery strategies for the improvement of their players\' performance.
摘要：
这项研究的目的是评估感知的有用性，在世界各地的水球（WP）运动员及其教练中应用恢复策略的实际使用和局限性。共有231名WP球员和76名教练代表各大洲，性别和各级竞争，完成了免费访问的在线调查。这分为三个部分：社会人口统计数据(8个问题)，恢复策略感知有用性的重要性(3个问题)，和实际使用的恢复方法(6题)。大多数球员和教练认为恢复策略非常重要(52.4%和59.2%，分别）和训练后（28.1%和26.5%）是最常用的时间。选择最合理的理由是降低伤害风险（30.4％和26.9％），使用恢复策略的最大限制是它们太耗时（34.9％和29％）。在球员的情况下，拉伸是被认为最有用和最常用的策略(12.7%和18.1%)；在教练的情况下，主动恢复(11.2%和15%)。本研究表明，科学文献与研究参与者对恢复方法的看法和用法之间存在一定程度的差异。WP团队的教练和技术人员可能会对此信息感兴趣，以寻找适当的恢复策略来改善其球员的表现。
