“The more stress the body is under, the lower the capacity it is to recover from the training that you did,” says host Dr. Andrew Fix. Today, Dr. Andrew discusses how to optimize your recovery time to maximize your fitness results. By going through Dr. Marc Bubbs’ Peak: The New Science of Athletic Performance That is Revolutionizing Sports, Dr. Andrew gives insight into eliminating stresses that hinder your performance.
A big part of sports recovery is knowing where to focus your time. Without sufficient rest and proper nutrition, it would be difficult to recoup mentally and physically from athletic training. With this in mind, Dr. Andrew explores Dr. Bubbs’ Recovery Pyramid and how his audience can utilize it to their advantage. Although the uncertainty of life can prevent us from centering on our recovery, Dr. Andrew demonstrates that caring for our bodies is possible.
Tune into this week’s episode of The Code for a valuable conversation on sports recovery. Learn more about defining “recovery” from training, the side-effects of stress on the body, and the importance of getting adequate sleep.
