Featured Coach Cast: Recovery Series - Bones

In this first installment of Coach Corner we are featuring the first in an exciting new series of Coach Casts that look at ‘recovery’. With recovery being so integral to the continuity and development of training we have created this Coach Cast series to create a deeper understanding as to how the body adapts to training. Therefore in the coming months we will examine how different components important in athlete development respond, adapt and progress in response to training. The first segment of this series is linked below; it examines the skeletal system and provides an in depth understanding of the physiology of bones, how they respond to training stimuli, and what the implications of overtraining are for bone health.
