Essential to training is optimal recovery. Insufficient recovery may lead to decrement in physiological and psychological status, resulting in decreased performance and potentially overtraining. Thus, investigating an appropriate time course of recovery and recovery enhancement methods are of value. Extreme Conditioning Programs (ECP) are metabolically and physically demanding forms of training that incorporate regular variation in exercises, high intensity, and high volume with minimal prescribed rest. There is currently no research evaluating recovery following an ECP workout. Three studies were conducted to evaluate recovery duration and enhancement methods following an ECP workout. In the first study, 24-hour (R24) and 48-hour (R48) recovery were evaluated in nine trained males following an ECP workout by assessment of a pre-workout performance battery (PRI) and a post-recovery PRI. The PRI consisted of a sit-and-reach test, shoulder reach flexibility test, countermovement jump (CMJ), bench press bar velocity and power, seated medicine ball toss, 1-minute push-up test, 250 m rowing ergometer test, and perceptual markers. Additionally, a composite recovery score (z-score of six PRI metrics) was developed for each study. The second study evaluated 30 minutes of upper-body low-frequency electrical stimulation (LFES), trained males (n = 9), as a strategy to enhance recovery following an ECP workout by assessment of a pre-workout PRI and PRI 24-hours post workout. In a similar design, study three evaluated the combination of branch chain amino acids (BCAA) and beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) as a recovery strategy in ten trained males following an ECP workout. A placebo of sugar-free candy was used as a control in studies 2 and 3. Findings from study one indicated a significant decrement of the composite recovery score, performance of the CMJ, and bar velocity as well as increased perception of muscle pain at R24. However, only perception of muscle pain was altered at R48. Thus, R48 was a sufficient recovery duration and allowed restoration of performance following the ECP workout. Studies two and three had similar results, the recovery strategies did not attenuate the decrement in performance and alterations of perception associated with the ECP workout. Future research should explore recovery following differing ECP durations and modalities.
