athletic recovery
Bouncing back physically
Athletic recovery is the process of restoring the body after physical exertion—rest, nutrition, stretching, and other practices that help muscles repair and energy replenish.
The term covers everything from post-workout protein shakes to ice baths to sleep optimization.
Recovery has become its own industry: She swears by her athletic recovery routine of foam rolling and compression boots.
