Gauging Recovery and Managing Stress
In order to gauge nervous system recovery and manage stress, there are two tests that can be used: grip strength and carbon dioxide tolerance. It's important to push the throttle on stress for desired adaptations, but too much stress without enough recovery can lead to reduced adaptability and worsened physical ability.

Summary
When it comes to athletic performance, it is important to balance the stress and recovery capacities appropriately. It is essential to push the throttle as far down as required for the desired stress and ensure that the total stress load does not exceed the recovery capacity to avoid physical ability deterioration.
