“…Multiple variables can influence recovery, such as nutrition [1–3], sleep [4–7], and travel [4, 8]. In many team sports, there is limited opportunity to recover owing to high training/competition loads [9] and vigorous travel schedules (e.g., baseball, basketball, ice hockey, and soccer), which can involve inconsistent sleep schedules, time zone changes [8], and changes in altitude [10]. In addition to these issues, team sport training/competition presents significant mechanical loads (particularly contact sports, e.g., American football, rugby, and ice hockey) and metabolic demands that cause fatigue and pose challenges to the recovery process.…”
