Muscle recovery is essential for smooth athletic development and muscle mass gain . In any activity that demands physical conditioning, fatigue is inevitable. However, it's during rest that the body can regenerate and improve its capabilities for the next challenge. But for this to happen, it needs to be supplied with good nutrients.
