Recovery

Recovery examines what genuinely restores an athlete between sessions: sleep quantity and quality, protein and carbohydrate timing, load management, cold and heat exposure, compression and soft tissue work. Each method carries an evidence rating and a practical cost. Useful for competitors, coaches and support staff protecting training continuity across a season.

Sleep, soreness, load management, cold exposure and compression assessed on what shortens the gap between hard sessions and what only feels productive.
