Aside from adequate sleep and nutrition, the athlete can focus on the following strategies between Sessions. The more strategies performed, the higher chance the athlete will be fully recovered for the next workout or training session.
The following strategies can be done at any point throughout the day but may be useful to do them in this order:
- Upon Waking: Contrast Shower to help with circulation and removal of muscle waste.
- Morning Recovery WorkIn: Stretching with Pool Exercise helps to improve tissue extensibility, venous return, and circulation.
- Lunch or Early Afternoon: Sauna has been shown to enhance hypertrophy.
- Afternoon before 3: Nap or Non-sleep Deep rest with a Tea Meditation
- Evening: Normatech Boots is a compression strategy to squeeze muscles and promote circulation.
- Evening: E-Stim causes muscles to contract without using ATP(energy) which helps to remove metabolic waste in a muscle.
Again, not all of these strategies have to be performed. It's important the athlete is not stressing out trying to do all of this. If time is permitted, then do it all, otherwise pick your favorites and make sure to add them to the athlete's itinerary.
