The Science of Recovery with Dr. Robin Thorpe

Dr. Robin Thorpe sits down with our VP of Performance Kristen Holmes to discuss the physiological and psychological benefits of recovery, and how you can best get your body ready to perform at its peak. They detail the entire recovery process, what metabolic fatigue and structural damage are, how that changes how you should think about recovery, and different recovery modalities and how they affect your body. They also explain why HRV is such an excellent measurement of recovery, both physical and mental.
Dr. Thorpe is perhaps best known for his work with some of the world’s best soccer players. He spent nearly 10 years with Manchester United as a Senior Performance Scientist and Conditioning coach. He has also helped world-class track and field athletes, Olympic gold medalists, and world record holders in the lead up to their biggest performances, focusing on balancing training loads and aiding recovery to reduce injury and illness.
