Active recovery means staying physically active while you recover from higher intensity exercise by using gentle, non-strenuous movements. Walking between sets and gently cycling after a weights class are good examples. Passive recovery, in contrast, requires no movement at all. You simply let your body rest while you sit or lie down, for example. 1, record 1, English, - passive%20recovery

Para la recuperación de los músculos se toman en cuenta dos formas: la activa y la pasiva. Cuando se habla de una recuperación activa se trata de recuperar los músculos con movimientos de baja intensidad, mientras que en la recuperación pasiva los músculos directamente descansan de la actividad. 1, record 1, Spanish, - recuperaci%C3%B3n%20pasiva
