Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -What Is Active and Passive Recovery? Active recovery means staying physically active while you recover from higher intensity exercise by using gentle, non-strenuous movements. Walking between sets and gently cycling after a weights class are good examples. Passive recovery, in contrast, requires no movement at all.

Detailed explanation-2: -Passive recovery gives your body an opportunity to rest, without having much of an impact on your abilities. Usually passive recovery involves a day of rest, to allow your muscles time to repair themselves, and to give you a bit of a mental break.

Detailed explanation-3: -Passive methods can include things like enough sleep, the right nutrition, physiotherapeutic methods such as a massage, foam rolling, sauna sessions, warm and cold showers and relaxation exercises. Active recovery is often done right after training sessions (cool down), or can also be a full active recovery day.
