In summary, when administered to skeletal muscle that has been acutely damaged through exercise, massageMassage Therapy Attenuates Inflammatory Signaling After Exercise-Induced Muscle Damage . . . In summary, when administered to skeletal muscle that has been acutely damaged through exercise, massage therapy appears to be clinically beneficial by reducing inflammation and promoting mitochondrial biogenesis. " In order to understand this overrated study and put it into perspective, please read the following article: http://saveyourself.ca/articles/research-crane.php Some excerpts: "What the authors actually reported is: “potentiated mitochondrial biogenesis signaling” and “promotes mitchondrial biogenesis.” More specifically, they might have found “one molecule that promotes the development of mitochondria by 20% at most” (Gorski). They didn’t find more mitochondria … they found a single mitochondrial growth signal. It’s the difference between finding bigger plants or just a few bags of fertilizer. Potash in a farmer’s barn does not mean there is a bumper crop." Read the article and understand it. Whether or not mitochondrial growth actually happens depends on many biological inputs (like everything else that our cells do). Inferring from one signal in a small sample that “massage increases mitochondria” is an enormously optimistic leap."

    Francesca, I encourage you to read articles about the differences between novice and experts athletes clasification, there you will find anatomical, physiological and psychological characteristicsFrancesca, I encourage you to read articles about the differences between novice and experts athletes clasification, there you will find anatomical, physiological and psychological characteristics that are found in both of them. Also look for technical and tactical skills, movement patterns variability, automated cyclic movement patterns and acyclic movement patterns adaptation to team sports or combat sports competition situations. Once you have a fundamental background on these topics you will understand why coaches talk about perfectionism.
