A physiological comparison of passive versus active recovery on subsequent performance

A physiological comparison of passive versus active recovery on subsequent performance 1250 Words The assignment for the physiology section of SES 1243 will focus on answering the research question

‘Is there a significant difference in changes in mean power output during the 30 second Wingate test between active and passive 

recovery?’

For the assignment, you have been provided with a dataset from 10 University team sport athletes. The data was collected using 

the following method:

1. On one occasion participants completed two 30 second Wingate tests with a 5 minute passive recovery (lying supine) between 

each effort. Mean power was calculated for both sprints

2. On another occasion the same participants completed two 30 second Wingate tests with a 5 minute active recovery 

(cycling at 30% VO2max) between each effort. Mean power was calculated for both sprints.

You must use the information and data provided to answer the research question by producing a Results, Discussion and 

Conclusion section of a lab report.

Results: You need to use the data provided to answer the research question. This must be done by appropriately analyzing, 

presenting and describing the results.

Discussion: Here you need to explain your results, referring to the key fundamental physiology concepts and published 

literature.

Conclusion: This should be your take home message and summary

LO2 Identify and explain the key scientific principles of sport and exercise physiology
