This session is held once per week and will focus on what we call active recovery. The Summer is a time of accelerated adaptation and the body needs to be in a good position to deal with the accelerated stimulus.

The studies show that ice baths, normatec boots, game ready’s all fall short when it comes to recovery. In fact, Cal Dietz did a small case study where he found that the athletes who went for a 10-minute walk after training had better recovery and inflammatory markers 24-48 hours post-training when compared to those who used ice baths. This is because the body needs blood flow to shuttle in oxygen and nutrients, and pressure changes to shuttle out all the metabolic byproducts of training.

This group will work on mobility and work capacity through various stimuli, including in the pool and on our field turf field. This group will meet on Wednesdays at noon sharp, which will help to reset the body for the second half of the week. This session isn’t mandatory for the athletes in the Peak Performance group, but it is STRONGLY encouraged!
