FEATURES OF FATIGUE AND RECOVERY OF ATHLETES

Аннотация

This article delves into the multifaceted features of fatigue and recovery in athletes, exploring the intricate mechanisms and patterns that characterize these physiological processes. Fatigue, an inevitable consequence of intense physical exertion, involves a complex interplay of central and peripheral factors impacting neuromuscular function, metabolic pathways, and hormonal responses. Conversely, recovery constitutes a dynamic restoration phase, encompassing neural, metabolic, and immune processes aimed at reinstating homeostasis. Understanding the features of fatigue and recovery in athletes is pivotal for optimizing training strategies, preventing overtraining, and enhancing performance. This review elucidates the distinctive characteristics, temporal patterns, and influential factors underlying fatigue and recovery in athletes across various sports disciplines. KEYWORDS Fatigue, recovery, athletes, physiological mechanisms, neuromuscular fatigue, metabolic pathways, hormonal responses, overtraining, performance enhancement, training strategies, temporal patterns, homeostasis.
