In this episode, we discuss how to manage CNS Fatigue/ Neuromuscular fatigue and optimize training.  . We dive into the science of motor unit firing, motoneuron excitability, motor cortical excitability, and other neurophysiological variables that impact training.  . We also break down how to practically apply this to training athletes with high/low CNS Days and which athletes are likely to see the most benefit from this model. .
