Recovery from maximum-intensity anaerobic exercise takes 7 to 14 days, not 24 hours. Muscle growth and strength are produced during the recovery phase, not during the training session itself. Recovering from soreness in only 1–2 days after an anaerobic session indicates the session was not intense enough. As fitness improves and muscles adapt over time, recovery time between anaerobic sessions gradually shortens. Returning to anaerobic training before full recovery produces diminished results and raises injury risk.
