Training should be understood not only as a method to achieve the best physical performance, but also and above all as a tool to maintain a correct state of health. «Our organism reacts to the workload with an adaptation reaction able to overcome both the “ nsult” received and to prepare for a possible subsequent attack. This is the phenomenon of super compensation, which is the basis of the training methodology, that is to say the programming of workloads with loading and unloading phases that allow us to avoid overtraining and injuries» explains the responsible and health director of the Mapei Sport Research Center Claudio Pecci.

Sporting activity is therefore healthy, but only if done correctly. Let’s set our goals, respect the right work cycles and grant our body the rest necessary to recover from the “trauma” of training. If we train ourselves in a balanced and intelligent way, both body and mind will benefit.
