Muscle Recovery & Everything You Should Know About It
Do you know what it takes for your body to recover after a workout? Understanding body homeostasis is key to figuring out why it is important to let your muscles recover after you exercise.
This recovery process is necessary to induce muscle growth as the muscle builds back stronger. When we rest and recover, protein synthesis is greater than the rate of muscle protein breakdown, and our muscles grow.
If your body’s stress is not followed up with recovery, your homeostasis and immune system may be compromised, increasing your chances of injuries or illness.
