Description

Recovery is essential for optimal health, wellbeing, and performance. When done correctly, recovery produces a state of readiness that allows us to continue doing the things we love. When done incorrectly, it can lead to physical, mental, and emotional injury and illness.

So how do you know if you are recovering correctly? There are numerous questions that must be addressed to understand and apply proper recovery strategies in a practical and efficient manner such as:

· What is recovery?

· What happens in our bodies that we are recovering from?

· How can we practically and effectively assess recovery?

· How can I practically and effectively implement proven cost-effective recovery strategies?

And the list goes on…

To address all of the questions and more, Eleiko Education has developed the Readiness and Recovery Training course. In this course, you will acquire the tools and experience to practically and effectively monitor, manage, and enhance readiness and recovery. You will learn how to use multiple training applications and strategies to enhance the health, wellbeing, and performance of yourself and others.
