Recenzje

‘Fifteen years after the publication of Enhancing Recovery it is time for another resource that brings together cutting-edge research on the importance of recovery for athletic performance and health. Michael Kellmann and Jürgen Beckmann have gathered the world’s leading scholars from both psychology and physiology in a joint perspective on recovery research and its practical application. This book’s interdisciplinarity is unique and an advancement that many other research areas could profit from. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn from the best on how to improve the performance and health of athletes by enhancing their recovery.’ – Dr. Anne-Marie Elbe, President of FEPSAC (European Federation of Sport Psychology)
