Exercise recovery biology for clearer fatigue assessment and more individualized return-to-training decisions
For clinicians building a stronger performance and recovery framework
This course teaches a cellular-medicine framework for understanding exercise performance, fatigue, recovery biology, and injury repair. You’ll connect familiar performance concepts—such as lactate threshold, VO₂ max, and respiratory quotient—to substrate use (carbohydrate, fat, and ketones) and to how training stress drives adaptation over time. The course also explores redox balance and NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) biology, with practical discussion of nutrient timing, overtraining-related immune shifts, and trend-based monitoring using tools like wearables and lactate. Clinically, the material is designed to support clearer interpretation of post-training symptoms (for example, fatigue versus delayed-onset muscle soreness) and more structured follow-up using measurable endpoints such as performance trends, symptoms, and selected biomarkers when appropriate. It is intended for clinicians working in performance, recovery, and injury repair contexts, and for researchers or advanced trainees who want a mechanism-based way to translate exercise physiology into clinical reasoning.
What’s Included
The course is organized as long-form, mechanism-first lectures followed by a final Q&A that focuses on translating concepts into real-world clinical and performance scenarios. The emphasis is on building a coherent framework you can use to interpret patterns over time rather than relying on one-size-fits-all protocols.
