Recovery is Key

Recovery is where champions are made. Roman knows that rest and restoration are paramount to his continued success. His post-match routine includes:

STRETCHING RECOVERY	10 minutes of stretching the entire body, focusing on breathing. Light exercises help to stimulate blood flow and reduce muscle soreness.
HYDRATION	Staying well-hydrated is crucial for muscle recovery and overall performance.
ICE BATH	A three minute dip in an ice bath can reduce pain and inflammation.
NUTRITION	Fuelling after a match can speed up the recovery. Foods such as protein shakes and a healthy meal including carbs and protein will give you the necessary nutrients for a faster recovery.
MASSAGE GUN	Using a massage gun on any tender muscles can help improve percussing the tissue (and stimulating deeper). This recovery tool can help to relieve pain and improve circulation.
SLEEP	Prioritising quality sleep is vital, as this is when your body is in its best recovery mode. A 15-30 min nap is great and sets you up for your next session.
COMPRESS TARGET MUSCLE	Using compression wear to target certain muscle groups is vital for boxers, as it aids in muscle repair and reduces post-fight soreness by enhancing circulation and minimising swelling.
