Recovery Time in Sports

When talking about the human body, it is important to understand the concept of "biological time". 

If one sustains an injury, biological time could be measured by how long it takes the body to recover from said injury.  As an example, if a doctor quotes you two weeks for recovery, you could actually help accelerate the recovery time by aiding the body of its natural healing functions. 

Adequate rest, a nutritious diet, and supplementation would all play a role; as would maintaining a positive attitude.   


Thus, the two week period the doctor quoted you, could in fact turn out to be much less, or much more depending on how well you are treating your body.  To maintain a healthy recovery time however requires one to take care of one's body before it gets injured.  This is in itself both an Art and a Science.
