2short Q&A pairs drawn directly from our worked dot-point answer. For full context and worked exam questions, read the parent dot-point page.
What is tissue (musculoskeletal) recovery?Show answer
Strategies aimed at the muscles and connective tissue, mostly to manage delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and perceived freshness.
What is psychological recovery?Show answer
Restoring mental readiness and managing the psychological load of training and competition: relaxation and breathing, mindfulness or meditation, debriefing, music, and planned time away from sport for a mental switch-off. Evidence is growing but mixed; the clearest benefits are improved mood, reduced perceived stress and better readiness, which support the other recovery processes (especially sleep).
