BESTSELLING account of the new frontier of sports recovery science,
which shows what we should and shouldn't be doing between exercising to
achieve maximum performance.
All athletes, from Olympians to
weekend warriors, must find the balance between training and recovery to
maximize the benefits of workouts and reach optimal performance. For
the longest time, coaches and training manuals have emphasized training
above all else. However, science shows that recovery is a crucial
component of exercise training and it may even be the most important
one.
Good to Go is the first definitive account of this new
frontier in sports and exercise science. Christie Ashwanden takes you on
a first-person tour through the science of exercise recovery, from ice
baths and cryogenic freezing chambers to the science behind Usain Bolt’s
love of chicken nuggets and Tom Brady’s recovery pyjamas.
Full of
eye-opening revelations, Aschwanden takes us on an invigorating journey
through the science and potions of sports recovery and debunks the junk
to give a clear picture of what we should actually be doing to achieve
peak performance.
