Recovery times and physical exercise for the physical rehabilitation of Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome

Abstract

The objective of the work was to determine the influence of different dosages of the recovery time on the maximum repetitions of half−squats to 900 in the sample during four planned series. We carried out a descriptive, pre-experimental investigation of minimum control study for a single group with pre−test post−test. The sample consisted of 38 females aged 12 years with Hypermobile Ehlers−Danlos Syndrome (SEDh). The Arithmetic Mean, Typical Deviation and an analysis of variance Anova of a factor were used to compare the effect of that exercise with the time of recovery and the perceived effort. The Games-Howell post-hoc test was performed, not assuming equal variances, to evaluate the magnitude of the differences between the predicted series. Among the main results, improvements were found in the maximum repetitions of physical exercise (p=0.000) and localized fatigue was increased, caused by the short recovery time established between series (p=0.000). As a general conclusion, it was observed how the study variables determined the importance of the dosage of recovery time according to the characteristics of each patient. During planning there must be a harmonious and adequate integration of the components of the dosage (volume, intensity, methodology, frequency, density and selection of exercises). In order to favor the quality of life of the people surveyed, recovery times were estimated, with the aim of influencing the complete restoration of this process and the pauses of two to three minutes between work series.
