Central Nervous System Recovery

Meaning

Central Nervous System Recovery refers to the physiological process of restoring optimal function to the brain and spinal cord following periods of intense physical or psychological stress, training load, or chronic imbalance. This recovery is fundamentally linked to hormonal regulation, neurotransmitter balance, and the restorative phases of sleep. Adequate CNS recovery is paramount for maintaining cognitive performance and preventing hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis dysfunction.
