The execution of training plans with low-intensity exercises (\u201cclassic\u201d method) is standard, even if these do not replicate the technical-tactical demands of the game, nor do they have a scientific basis that demonstrates their superior effect. Through semi-structured interviews, this study explored the perspective of five coaches with national and international experience in recovery training and the use of classic or high-intensity recovery methods more closely aligned with the game's characteristics. The results highlighted the following themes: Individual adaptations; Changes throughout the season; Recovery supplements; Day off; Difficulty of implementation; and recovery methods. All emphasised the need to adjust recovery training to game time and competitive load, suggesting complements such as cryotherapy and massages, especially in periods of high density. Using high-intensity methods is effective in optimising recovery and improving performance. However, it is essential to adjust training and recovery methods to the competitive context. Complemented with other techniques, high-intensity recovery appears essential to optimise recovery if its implementation is communicated clearly and adjusted to cultural differences.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.47863\/mofx1136","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,4]],"date-time":"2025-02-04T14:01:40Z","timestamp":1738677700000},"page":"14-25","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Recovery Training in Football: A Qualitative Study on Coaches' Perspectives"],"prefix":"10.47863","volume":"2","author":[{"given":"Tiago","family":"Ara\u00fajo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Sports and Leisure School from Polytechnic of Viana do Castelo, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Rui","family":"Resende","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Miguel","family":"Cam\u00f5es","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Eduardo","family":"Teixeira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"27454","reference":[{"key":"ref0","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","unstructured":"Akenhead, R., & Nassis, G.
