Abstract

Endurance athletes strive to maintain peak performance by alternating between periods of intensive training and periods of rest and recovery, which can be difficult given the nature of the requirements for endurance sports. When there is an inadequate balance of activity and rest and recovery, the likelihood of injury increases dramatically. Recent evidence suggests that endurance athletes, who are already at an increased risk for physical injury, may also be more susceptible to psychological issues and/or mental health disorders. Therefore, it is important to take an individualized and holistic approach to the treatment of each athlete to minimize the risk of injury or to assist in recovery. In this chapter, the authors discuss various preventive and recovery modalities used in their orthopedic practice that encompass the diverse and multidimensional needs of endurance athletes.
