The relationship between recovery and fatigue its impact on performance has attracted the interest of sport science for many years. An adequate balance stress (training competition load, other life demands) is essential athletes to achieve continuous high-level performance. Research focused examination physiological psychological strategies compensate external internal training loads. A systematic monitoring subsequent implementation routines aims at maximizing preventing negative developments such as underrecovery, nonfunctional overreaching, overtraining syndrome, injuries, or illnesses. Due inter- intraindividual variability responses training, competition, strategies, a diverse set expertise required address multifaceted phenomena recovery, performance, their interactions transfer knowledge from practice. For this purpose, symposium Recovery Performance was organized Technical University Munich Science Study Center Raitenhaslach (Germany) in September 2016. Various international experts disciplines research areas gathered discuss share enhancement variety settings. results meeting are outlined consensus statement that provides central definitions, theoretical frameworks, practical implications synopsis current While our understanding complex significantly increased through research, some important issues future investigations also elaborated.
