Recovery is therefore an integral part of her life as a high-level athlete and is necessary for her performance.<\/p><p>No\u00e9mie explains that she adopts a specific routine according to her training period. When she is on skis, she spends time every morning and evening doing stretching, mobilization and yoga exercises. &#8220;It helps me wake up my muscles in the morning as well as relax them at night before sleeping after a day on the skis.&#8221;<\/p><p>When the skier is in physical preparation, she stretches at the end of each endurance or interval training session, i.e. two to three times a week.<\/p><p>No\u00e9mie sometimes uses a massage roller as part of her stretching routine to relax her muscles when they are tight.<\/p><p>Indeed, some accessories allow you to perform your own massages after your sports session. Among them, we find the massage gun, the massage roller or the massage balls. These accessories are ideal for relaxing local tensions. Simply roll them over the painful areas using back and forth movements and body weight. This way the blood circulation is drained and the muscles are stretched. Practical and space-saving, these accessories can be taken everywhere easily so as to relieve you in competition or training.<\/p><p>Do not hesitate to consult our range of accessories for sports recovery:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-89842a0 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"89842a0\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-07834a8\" data-id=\"07834a8\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-3bae8eb elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3bae8eb\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-c0f976c\" data-id=\"c0f976c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d256673 justify elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d256673\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Diet also plays a key role in the recovery process. To recover well, proteins are a must: they help strengthen muscles and repair body tissues. That&#8217;s why No\u00e9mie takes a protein shake after her strength training.<\/p><p>After endurance training, the skier mentions needing sugar. Indeed, in order to provide the energy necessary for this type of training, the muscles used by the effort draw on their stocks of glycogen. It is therefore advisable to consume foods rich in glucose and fructose in order to quickly &#8220;re-sugarize&#8221; the body and promote the replenishment of energy reserves of muscles and liver. No\u00e9mie often opts for energy bars.<\/p><p>Also, it is essential to hydrate sufficiently to help the body reduce excess lactic acid and toxins after exercise.<\/p><p>Another key to recovery is sleep! Indeed, it is during the phases of deep slow wave sleep that the body regenerates and that the muscular tissues are rebuilt thanks to the growth hormones.<\/p><p>No\u00e9mie reveals that during training camps, athletes even take naps in the afternoons between workouts in order to recover more!<\/p><p>Hot and cold can be two great allies for a better recovery. The skier from Fribourg explains that she uses hot or cold depending on the type of pain she feels. &#8220;When I feel after big workouts that my legs are heavy and tired and there are still days to go, I often take cold baths. When I have aches and pains in my muscles, I use heat. That can be baths or it can be heat patches.&#8221;<\/p><p>To conclude, No\u00e9mie advises to focus on the simplest things. That is to say: diet and sleep. The sportswoman adds that after an intensive session, a little &#8220;cool down&#8221; never hurts!<\/p><p><strong>In short, a good recovery is :<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Establish a routine<\/li><li>Relaxing and stretching<\/li><li>Eat well and stay hydrated<\/li><li>Get enough sleep<\/li><li>Relieve pain with cold or heat<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3c31c462 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3c31c462\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6edf3bd2\" data-id=\"6edf3bd2\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-77d9f85a elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"77d9f85a\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-2d04fa73\" data-id=\"2d04fa73\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-664a9e0f elementor-view-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon\" data-id=\"664a9e0f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon\">\n\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-info-circle\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M256 8C119.043 8 8 119.083 8 256c0 136.997 111.043 248 248 248s248-111.003 248-248C504 119.083 392.957 8 256 8zm0 110c23.196 0 42 18.804 42 42s-18.804 42-42 42-42-18.804-42-42 18.804-42 42-42zm56 254c0 6.627-5.373 12-12 12h-88c-6.627 0-12-5.373-12-12v-24c0-6.627 5.373-12 12-12h12v-64h-12c-6.627 0-12-5.373-12-12v-24c0-6.627 5.373-12 12-12h64c6.627 0 12 5.373 12 12v100h12c6.627 0 12 5.373 12 12v24z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-2a98bd00\" data-id=\"2a98bd00\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cfdfa79 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cfdfa79\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><strong>Also read: <\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gladiatorfit.ch\/en\/the-six-best-exercises-to-build-abs\/exercices-abdos-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The 6 exercises to build up your abdominal muscles<\/a> <\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover all the tips to recover after sport.
