Fitness Recovery Velocity

Meaning

Fitness Recovery Velocity quantifies the rate at which an individual’s physiological systems, particularly those governed by the endocrine axis, return to pre-exercise equilibrium following physical exertion. This metric is a powerful indicator of adaptive capacity and training effectiveness, reflecting the speed of anabolic processes relative to catabolic stress. A higher velocity suggests efficient hormonal signaling supporting rapid tissue repair and metabolic normalization. We view this as a key determinant of long-term performance sustainability.
