Recovery Signal

Meaning

A Recovery Signal is a composite physiological indicator, often derived from advanced biometric data such as heart rate variability (HRV), detailed sleep architecture metrics, or specific hormonal assays, that quantitatively reflects the body’s state of homeostatic restoration following physical or psychological stress. This signal provides objective, actionable data on the readiness of the neuroendocrine, musculoskeletal, and autonomic nervous systems to safely undertake further demanding activity. Clinically, monitoring this signal is essential for guiding the personalized prescription of rest, training intensity, and stress management.
