The use of recovery modalities by endurance runners by Lemke, Hanette

“…There are multiple modalities available to aid the recovery process and facilitate optimal performance. However, there is limited information regarding the prevalence and pattern of use of recovery modalities in endurance runners, as well as the factors that may influence runners' decisions to use different recovery modalities. …”
