Performance Insight - Rest and Recovery

Stress, fatigue and exhaustion are often a constant in the lives of people today. Long work hours, chasing after kids or pets, worrying about health, both of their own and that of their family, and even training or exercise can contribute to this.

·      Look at how the body responds to stress and strain
