4. Effects on Recovery

Many of the studies researching grounding attempt to discover its effects on recovery from physical activity. One such study had 22 participants split into two groups. One group recovered from physical activity while grounded, while the others slept in ungrounded conditions. Researchers used downhill treadmill running to simulate long-term muscle soreness and fatigue. Test subjects who rested in the grounded conditions showed faster recovery and less pronounced markers of muscle inflammation and damage.
