Recovery from Strenuous Exercise

Coaches, managers and athletes frequently ask about how they can recover as fast as possible from fatigue and improve their following performances. Recovery from Strenuous Exercise informs the student, the athlete, and practicing strength and conditioning coaches and performance therapists on how to use the latest scientific evidence to inform their recovery practice, particularly during high training volumes and competitive cycles.


This book empowers the athlete, the coach and the therapist, by giving them greater confidence, improves their critical thinking, avoid poor practice, and gives them a greater understanding of what causes fatigue and how its effects can be minimised. Recovery from Strenuous Exercise covers many of the aspects required to make a highly skilled, confident, knowledgeable, personal trainer, sports therapist or strength and conditioning coach. It also acts as a recovery 'go to' guide for competitive recreational athletes who lack the knowledge and guidance on optimal recovery protocols used by their professional peers.


This text serves as a learning and research aid for the athlete and those studying vocational personal training and sports therapy courses, and those studying other courses where recovery modalities form part of their undergraduate and post graduate degree, such as strength and conditioning, sports science, sports therapy; sports rehabilitation; osteopathy and physiotherapy.
