How to recover better at night after sport

After an intense workout, the body needs to recover in order to be able to sustain the same level of effort the next day. Night is the crucial time when the body rests and regenerates. Poor sleep inevitably leads to poor recovery. In this article, we help you understand the mechanics of nighttime recovery and how to improve it.

What is the role of sleep in your performance and how to improve it?

If you practice intense training sessions repeatedly, then recovery is essential. Indeed, without it, you risk being subject to muscle fatigue, which will weaken your muscle tissue, increase your likelihood of injury, but also cause nervous and cerebral exhaustion. Maxime Krantz , sports coach, explained to us the role sleep plays in recovery:

“The amount of sleep needed each night varies between individuals. Sleep is divided into several phases. For the sportsman, the deep sleep phases are essential because it is the moment when the body secretes large quantities of growth hormones, essential for the regeneration of our muscular tissues. This mechanism explains in particular the decisive role of sleep on the recovery of muscle damage caused by training. It also justifies the unavoidable need to respect adequate sleep for athletes who undertake a diet intended to increase their muscle mass. »

This recovery which takes place at night is articulated on several levels: articular, nervous, muscular, and in terms of energy. You still need to have quality sleep to optimize your physical and mental regeneration!

To have a good sleep, the body must be able to relax, to relax. Some natural supplements help promote sleep while improving recovery. ZMP , a mixture of zinc and magnesium pidolates allows the body to relax, improving the quality of sleep as well as its restorative effects on the body.

At the same time, taking Lactium (a natural molecule in milk) can help reduce stress, the latter being a factor of insomnia in the event of too high a level of cortisol; its reduction therefore promotes better sleep.
