Types of Recovery: Immediate, Short-Term, and Training So, now that we’ve defined recovery as “the time frame needed for your mind and body to restore function to repeat or exceed previous activity performance,” we can talk about the different types of recovery. We’ll discuss the key signs to monitor for overtraining later. Many of the signs of overtraining relate to mental exhaustion and cognitive changes. Your brain needs a mental break from training to be able to push forward. Your brain has a natural governor that likes to keep things status quo it’s easier on your body to keep your performance where it is, while it takes substantial mental fortitude to develop further.

Hard workouts, interval training, and pushing the limits of your body takes a toll on your will power, mental energy, and focus. There is also a psychological component to recovery.
