Rest and Recovery Let Your Muscles Heal and Make You Stronger
The damage that exercise causes triggers your body’s immune system to repair that damage, explains Adam Rivadeneyra, MD, a sports medicine physician with the Hoag Orthopedic Institute and the Orthopaedic Specialty Institute, both in California. And when your body’s tissues — from your muscles and bones to heart and lungs — recover, they become slightly fitter than they were before. That way, the next time you perform the same workout, you won’t suffer as much damage.
“But you have to cause some damage to your body for it to adapt,” Dr. Rivadeneyra says.
Repeated again and again, this process of stress and recovery is what results in improved health and fitness.
