520 _aAll athletes from Olympians to weekend warriors must toe the line between training and recovery to maximise the benefits of workouts and reach optimal performance. For the longest time, coaches and training manuals have emphasised training. Now sports science is homing in on an even more fundamental part: recovery. The training aims to force the body to adapt to stress, and this adaptation is what makes you fitter and better able to perform. But to change, you need to optimise recovery too. You only benefit from training that you can recover from, and the ability to recover determines how much training your body can handle. Recovery, the science shows, is a crucial component of exercise training, and it's starting to look like it may be the most important one. Good to Go assesses the science and claims of a wide variety of recovery methods and potions and debunks the junk to give a clear picture. What should we be doing to look after our bodies better between exercising?
