Post-Exercise Recovery Phase

Meaning

The Post-Exercise Recovery Phase is the period immediately following physical exertion, during which the body actively works to restore physiological homeostasis, replenish energy stores, repair damaged muscle tissue, and adapt to the training stimulus. This phase is characterized by a specific hormonal and metabolic environment, making it a critical window for maximizing the adaptive benefits of exercise. Proper management of this phase is essential for preventing overtraining and promoting anabolic signaling.
