Recovery and Well-being in Sport and Exercise

Bringing together the world's leading experts, this multi-disciplinary collection examines both the psychological and physiological dimensions to recovery from sport. Featuring chapters on overtraining, sleep, the relationship to injury, as well as the role of stress, this volume illustrates how performance, both as an individual and within of a team, can be better managed through understanding the recovery process. It also covers the impact of travel on performance, as well as guidance on measurement and training. Based upon the contemporary models of recovery and performance in different scientific disciplines such as medicine, neuroscience, psychology, and sport science, expert contributors also explore implications for applied and strategic interventions to retain and stabilize performance ability. This is a must-have resource for students and scholars across the sports sciences as well as any coach interested in the latest research.This book in this new series is essentially a new edition of the book Sports, Recovery, and Performance under a new title, Recovery and Well-being in Sport and Exercise. Even though there is a large overlap between the 2018 book and this first book of the series, several modifications have been made: some chapters were omitted, new chapters were added, and some chapters have been substantially updated and revised.
