Recovery Efficiency

Meaning

Recovery Efficiency is a quantifiable metric that measures the speed and completeness with which an individual’s physiological systems return to their baseline homeostatic state following a stressor, such as intense physical training or acute psychological demand. In hormonal health, high efficiency indicates a resilient endocrine system, particularly a well-regulated HPA axis, capable of rapidly normalizing cortisol and catecholamine levels. This clinical marker is paramount for sustaining high performance and preventing the cumulative biological damage associated with chronic over-stress.
