Recovery

It certainly has been intersting watching and reading comments from NFL training camps. It seems that all of a sudden they have discovered the need for reovery. I found the New York Giants approach particularly intersting. They scheduled practice in the morning and then pushed the second harder practice to the evening to allow more time for recovery. It sounds good until you think about it. Now the problem is there is less time for recovery from the harder practice until the morning practice. By practicing later it could interfere with the ability to get to sleep which is essential for recovery. In my estimation this is a wash. It would have been more advisable to schedule three shorter practices.
