Active recovery has a specific scientific definition:
::: low to moderate intensity voluntary movement performed after training to accelerate lactate clearance and restore blood flow. It’s not a passive rest day. It’s a different kind of work.
The evidence supports 6-10 minutes as meaningful, with benefits increasing at 40-80% of your lactate threshold intensity. In practical terms: you should feel like you could go harder, but aren’t.
