Recovery Bio-Markers

Meaning

Recovery Bio-Markers are specific, measurable physiological indicators used to objectively quantify the extent and efficiency of tissue repair and systemic restoration following periods of stress, exercise, or physiological challenge. Key markers often include inflammatory cytokines, specific muscle enzymes, and fluctuations in key stress hormones like cortisol or DHEA-S ratios. Relying on these markers allows the clinician to move past subjective reporting to validate true physiological readiness. Assessing these parameters guides the timing of subsequent exertion.
