Introduction. Despite physiological changes caused by immersion in liquid medium, few studies have been conducted to determine the kinetics of blood lactate removal under these conditions. The aim of this study was to verify the effect of active recovery, using a specific water bike, on the blood lactate concentration after maximum intensity exercise. Material and method. Ten healthy cycling athletes performed an Anaerobic Threshold Test by Heart Rate (HR) on a bicycle ergometer and an Anaerobic Threshold Test by Subjective Effort Perception on an aquatic bicycle ergometer. Three maximal test was performed immediately before each recovery type, in three different days: Passive Recovery on Land - PRL (horizontal position for 60 minutes), Passive Recovery in the Water - PRW (horizontal position, with the help of floats, in swimming pool for 60 minutes) and Active Recovery in the Water - ARW (the volunteer performed exercises on a water bicycle to an intensity corresponding to 85% of the intensity of LA in water, for 30 minutes, and remained in the same position of the PRW for another 30 minutes). Blood samples were collected 5, 15, 30 and 60 minutes after the maximal test, for lactate analysis. Results. The [La] blood did not show the difference between the three types of recovery at 5th min. From 15th min on, the difference between the ARW and the other two types of passive recovery was significant, and the ARW showed lower values. There was no significant difference between the PRW and PRL. Conclusion. Mere immersion in water is not enough to maximize the removal of blood lactate. This study demonstrates that active recovery held in water is effective for the removal of blood lactate in cyclists.

Study aim: To compare the electromyographic activity during maximal isometric contraction alone or combined with local sinusoidal vibration.Material and methods: A group of 6 men aged 23 - 29 years performed 3 maximal voluntary contractions of the dominant elbow flexors lasting 10 s each and separated by 5-min intermissions. One repetition was without vibration, one was associated with 15-Hz and the other one with 20-Hz vibrations of 5-mm amplitude, the sequence of repetitions being random. A new system to generate local vibration was applied, the parameters of the vibratory stimulus being measured using an accelerometer. Force and EMG activity were also measured. The subjects performed the task in sitting position in a Scott Bench-type device.Results: Mean acceleration RMS significantly (p<0.01) differed between vibration frequencies for the X, Y, Z-axes. No significant differences were found, however, for EMG RMS. Vibration frequencies coincided with the machine-predicted ones; acceleration frequencies around 5 Hz were present in all situations, even without vibration, most likely brought about by tremor.Conclusion: The local vibration applied was not enough to generate different responses in EMG activity. The features of vibratory stimulus confirmed the expected frequency range and revealed frequencies around 5 Hz, that could be attributed to muscle tremor.
