rest periods
Time to recover
Rest periods are intervals of inactivity or recovery between periods of exertion.
In exercise, rest periods separate sets: Take sixty-second rest periods between sets.
Labor law mandates rest periods during work shifts.
The term appears in contexts where structured breaks are prescribed rather than spontaneous—athletic training, physical therapy, workplace regulations.
