Study this concept in context
49 · Recovery, fatigue and training load
Recovery involves fuel, tissue function, sleep, and total stress; one score cannot summarize it.
93 · Work, occupational exposure and protection
Work affects health through physical exposures, task demands, schedules, control, support, and security. Occupational health begins with the work process rather than assuming that injury or fatigue is simply a failure of personal care.
