Optimising Recovery From Exercise – Capitalise on your rest days
From when we are small children, we are told about the importance of exercise. Whether it be that we need to go outside and play during break time or that as we age, we need to do cardiovascular exercise to maintain heart health and that resistance training will help muscle tone.
Who Should Not Get in a Cryo Chamber?
When you get into the cryo chamber it causes your skin to cool. This activates the sympathetic nervous system initially. As a result, the blood vessels close to the surface of the skin narrow. This causes the blood flow to the peripheries and to injured or inflamed tissues in the body to slow.
How Stress Can Contribute to Injury
External stress also plays a role in injury risk. Negative life events, daily hassles and strains and stress related to training itself such as feeling stiff or tense, feeling vulnerable to injury and feeling insufficient rested all contribute to an increased likelihood of injury.
