Dunno, why does it take so long to recover because from the bleachers it looks like a meet day is less work than a 5 hour workout in the gym.....4 run throughs and then they're done!
I never see any signs of stress or anxiety from my gymmie (wish I could say the same for me!). Or does your statement just apply to older/higher level gymnasts?
I totally agree with you on the perception that from a purely physical perspective a 5 hour training session seems more physically demanding. BUT..... interesting, my 9 yr old gymmie totally needs the time afterwards to "unwind", take in everything that has happened, and come to terms with her placement, etc. It is entirely psychological for her, plus whatever physiological manifestations that results in. To head into the gym, analyse publicly what she had done, how she'd placed, and go immediately back to work would likely make matters worse. She's had meets where she's done very well, and others she did not, and that doesn't seem to affect that she needs the wind-down. This year is her first year with scores, meets that matter to her, etc. so I expect the ramp up and wind down to be even longer.Dunno, why does it take so long to recover because from the bleachers it looks like a meet day is less work than a 5 hour workout in the gym.....4 run throughs and then they're done!
