Présentation de l'éditeur
The REAL key to athletic success is recovery. Contrary to popular belief, training per se does not make you stronger, faster or fitter. Those benefits only come afterwards, during recovery, when adaptation takes place. No matter how hard you train, without adequate recovery you not only squander your hard training effort you also struggle to recuperate for your next session. And the harder and more frequently you train, the more vital recovery becomes. So you neglect recovery at your peril. And I m not referring to the extreme problems of over-reaching or even over-training . Many athletes, particularly those without the advantage of an expert coach to support and monitor their efforts, make the cardinal error of training too hard in the days leading up to competition. The result? A less-than-sparkling performance that, sadly, denies you the podium position you trained so hard to achieve. Or forces you to settle for Silver, even Bronze when, with a little more pre-competition recovery, you could have claimed Gold. Ironic isn t it? Even tragic. For that reason alone, my new special report Recovery the magic ingredient of any training program is arguably the single most important workbook in the Peak Performance series. Because the information it contains goes to the very heart of what you want to get out of the hours, days and weeks you spend training and competing. Your burning desire to achieve peak performance and feel that deep sense of satisfaction you only get when you ve put in your personal best. As Recovery the magic ingredient of any training program makes clear, recovery is much, much more than simply putting your feet up after a hard training session. Correct post-exercise nutrition, together with appropriate training program design and monitoring, are absolutely critical if you want to perform consistently well. Other factors are also important such as maximising sleep quantity and quality. It s not possible to exaggerate just how important recovery is for sports performance. Improving your recovery not only produces more performance benefits than any amount of increase in training intensity or volume, it also reduces your risk of sustaining an injury and lengthens your sporting career into the bargain. A true win-win situation! If you want to know what the latest research says about what and when to eat and drink, and how to structure your training for optimum recovery and maximum performance, look no further than Recovery the magic ingredient of any training program. Here are some of the startling new facts you ll learn: How soon after intensive exercise should you begin recovery? What are the different forms of protein you should consider, and why? Should your protein ingestion strategy begin after exercise or before? What s the best way to maximise muscle regeneration for those seeking this objective? How do you determine the ratio of carbohydrate to protein that s right for YOU? What household substance could soon drive some expensive recovery drinks out of the market? Half-time nutritional secrets that ll reinvigorate your team s second-half performance How to harness the glycaemic index of foodstuffs for optimal sports performance and recovery Which amino acid is now being talked of as the new creatine and how can you take advantage of it? How do you integrate recovery with your injury prevention strategies?
