Abstract: The objective of the study was to find out the effect of different recovery programs on blood lactic acid removal of basketball players. For the study nine inter- university level basketball players were selected from Visva-Bharati University, Santiniketan, Birbhum, West Bengal, India as the subjects. They were purposively divided into three groups with equal strength in each group-Dynamic Recovery Exercise Group (n-3), Massage Group (n-3) and Control Group(n-3). Blood Lactic acid level was selected as the variable for the study. Immediately after a match, blood samples were collected to check lactic acid level as pre-test data. 2^nd day after match and 15 minutes recovery programs i.e. dynamic recovery exercise program and massage program, blood samples of all the 3-groups was collected to check the post test data. To calculate the data descriptive statistics, Analysis of Co-variance (ANCOVA) and LSD post-hoc and were used. The result revealed the significant effect of recovery programs (F-6.021) and the mean difference was found significant between the DE group and Control group (MD-0.16) and between the Massage group and control group (MD-0.17) which were higher than the critical value i.e. 0.041 at 0.05 level of significance. No significant difference was found between the two experimental groups.
