Optimizing Metabolic Performance, Sleep, Oxidative Stress and Recovery by James LaValle

Description

Nutrients and Strategies needed Off the Ice to Be Resilient for a Demanding Season: The Impact Sleep, Oxidative Damage and SNS/PNS Balance has on Performance. The Athlete knows what to do when they get on the ice, whether it is training or performing in the game. The issue becomes how to be ready for the next night and those issues compound as the season continues. Our discussion will cover some of the most basics concepts of muscular recovery including pH balance, oxidative stress and neuro-immune coherence. We will discuss, best options for supporting consistent sleep, how to measure for oxidative stress and what to do about it, and then we will visit basic concepts in neuro-immune support to maximize sympathetic and parasympathetic balance.
