Fatigue Isn’t Just in Your Muscles
Most athletes recognize muscle fatigue.
But there’s another layer:
Central Nervous System (CNS) fatigue.
This type of fatigue affects:
- Strength output
- Reaction speed
- Coordination
- Focus
Even when muscles feel fine, performance can drop.
What Causes CNS Fatigue
CNS fatigue builds from:
- High-intensity training
- Explosive movements
- Lack of recovery
- Stress and poor sleep
It accumulates over time if not managed.
Signs of CNS Fatigue
- Slower reaction time
- Reduced explosiveness
- Lack of motivation
- Mental fog during training
These are often overlooked.
Managing CNS Fatigue
Managing CNS fatigue requires:
- Balanced training intensity
- Proper rest
- Consistent recovery habits
- Hydration and nutritional support
This helps restore overall performance.
