External Responsiveness of the SuperOpTM Device to Assess Recovery After Exercise: A Pilot Study
Post-exercise recovery is a complex process involving a return of performance and a physiological or perceptual feeling close to pre-exercise status. The hypothesis of this study is that the device investigated here is effective in evaluating the recovery state of professional cyclists in order to p...
