Strength Training Recovery

Meaning

Strength Training Recovery is the essential biological process following intense resistance exercise where muscle fibers are repaired, cellular energy stores are replenished, and the nervous system is rested and re-sensitized. This phase is hormonally mediated and determines the magnitude of the adaptive response, leading to muscle hypertrophy and increased strength. Inadequate recovery impairs performance and increases the risk of injury and systemic burnout.
