Question

What are two things athletes need to know about the nervous system?

Answer 1

Answer: To maximize training adaptations, you need to take advantage of the effects of both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system.

The parasympathetic nervous system is most beneficial to us because it is the state we ideally want to be in the vast majority of time. This is the state our body recovers in most efficiently due to the relaxed state and increased absorption/digestion of nutrients.

Answer 2

answer:

the nervous system is made up of the brain, spinal cord and nerves. It is the body's communication system that controls much of what your body does. It allows you to do things like walk, speak, swallow, breathe and learn, and controls how your body reacts in an emergency.
