I have read that in the first two minutes after exercise the body recovers 80% of its energy. Any truth to this?

Where did you read this? Would be interested cos as a personal trainer I can't imagine the body would be anywhere near ready to exercise again. Muscles have lactic acid buildup, nevermind anything else. It would also depend on how strenuous the exercise is and what sort of exercise. If you lift weights to failure, the body takes up to 14 days to heal so there's no way you would have the energy to retrain that muscle for days. We learn more about the body's capabilities all the time so would love to read your info! Jan 09 05, 5:47 AM

Isn't this something to do with what is termed 'the recovery rate' which I've seen personal trainers and even medical examiners checking? Jan 09 05, 8:39 AM

In that case you are speaking only about cardiovascular exercise. It takes around 30 minutes for heart rate to go back to its pre-exercise rate. The first minute after you stop exercising is how you assess the recovery rate. This changes dpending on your fitness level, exercise intensity and duration of workout. That's why you can't give an exact figure, like 2 minutes when there are so many variables. Jan 09 05, 8:48 AM

I recently read that some celebrity had two tonsillectomies because his tonsils grew back after the first one. Who might this have been and is there any possibility of it being true? Did the story "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" have any truth to it? I have just read two artciles about Hitler. The first said that at the time of his death Hitler appeared to be showing symptoms of syphilis while the second said that the evidence suggests that Hitler never had any sexual relations. Which article is more likely to be correct or is there any way both can be correct? A magnesium atom has two electrons in its outermost energy level. A sulfur atom has six electrons in its outermost energy level. How will the two atoms react to form a bond?
