???? It can happen after an intense workout or a race to feel some tension in the legs and observe them visibly swollen. In a word: retention.
❓ THE CAUSE? It is due to the extracellular recall of water from the muscles that have worked more intensely and to an increased vascularisation of these tissues. This is a normal response to fatigue that lasts a few hours.
❗️ WHAT TO DO? To facilitate recovery you can:
???? DEFATICATE, run or cycle easily but with a low intensity;
???? COLD-HOT SHOWER on the lower limbs: a cycle made by a few seconds of cold jet followed by as many heat;
???? REHYDRATED with water but above all sodium, chlorine, potassium and magnesium: it will promote the correct balance between the intra and extracellular environment;
???? FOAM ROLLER AND AUTOMASSAGE from the periphery of the body towards the centre;
???? MAQUI AND CACAO POLYPHENOLS that taken as a habit in a concentrated and purified form (called RX) have a highly positive impact on the elasticity of blood vessels.
