Abstract
Athletes prepare for competition through a complex training process where the physiological objective is to improve function, optimise performance and reduce the risk of injury. 25 Training induces considerable stress on our physiological systems, including energy substrate depletion, neuromuscular fatigue, hormonal modifications, oxidative stress, muscle damage and inflammation. 16 Depending on the exercise stimulus, one may expect to see a reduction in physical performance ranging from several hours to days.
