Plan post-exercise recovery

Guides for coaches and support teams on recovery nutrition, hydration, compression and water immersion, to help plan recovery around training.

Sleep & recovery

Resource

Recovery is one of the most heavily marketed parts of sport, and a lot of what is sold has little behind it. The Australian Institute of Sport's recovery collection is a good antidote: what the evidence supports, written for the people planning a training week.

It covers eating and drinking after sessions, compression, and water immersion, and how to fit recovery around a programme instead of treating it as an afterthought.

What to expect

A topic page linking to six guides. Free, no sign-in. It is written mainly for coaches, support staff and adult athletes.

Good to know

This is about recovering from training. It is not injury rehabilitation, and it is not a return-to-water plan. Please do not take it as an instruction to use cold-water immersion with every athlete.
