When sporting activity is performed, muscles are repetitively contracted and extended to perform a specific movement. This creates an increased demand for energy in the muscles, leading to an increase in energy production through metabolic processes, such as glycolysis and fatty acid oxidation.

Sports activity can also cause microtears or small injuries to muscle fibers, which stimulates the repair and growth of muscles to make them stronger and more resilient in the future. In addition, physical activity can increase blood circulation in the muscles, which can improve the delivery of oxygen and nutrients, as well as the elimination of metabolic wastes. In summary, sports activity can have several positive effects on muscles, including increased strength, endurance and the ability to repair and recover after exercise.

Pressure therapy is recommended after exercise because it helps accelerate muscle recovery and improves blood and lymphatic circulation. During exercise, muscles can experience fatigue, soreness and tightness, among other symptoms, which in turn can lead to swelling and fluid accumulation in certain areas of the body. Pressure therapy works with compression and decompression therapy, which stimulates blood and lymphatic flow to help reduce swelling and improve post-workout muscle recovery.

Moreover, it is not necessary to be a professional athlete to be able to use pressotherapy after physical exercise. This technique is beneficial for anyone who practices any physical activity, either regularly or sporadically, regardless of the level of training or competition. Therefore, anyone can use pressotherapy to improve recovery after physical exercise.
