Roger Federer and the benefits of resting your body

18/7/2017

This time last year, it appeared that Roger Federer could be placed in the category of a once great champion in slow decline. His last grand slam title had been won in 2012.
Picture
Federer had previously enjoyed a remarkably injury free career, until he sustained a freak knee injury at last year's Australian Open, whilst bathing his children. The knee injury was aggravated during his Wimbledon semi final defeat to Milos Raonic, and Federer was forced to take six months out of tennis for surgery and subsequent recovery.
Picture
Incredibly, Federer returned to win the 2017 Australian Open, seemingly rejuvenated by his enforced rest period. Perhaps influenced by the positive effects of his enforced rest, he then took the unprecedented decision to skip the clay court season, including the French Open. The results were again stunning. Federer won Wimbledon for a record eighth time without dropping a set!

The beneficial effects of resting your body cannot be underestimated. A common mistake with sports people at all levels is to carry on continuously without a suitable period of rest. How much do you need? Everyone is different, but a general rule of thumb is around 24-48 hours after serious exercise. Listen to your body! If you are aching all over, you have probably put too much stress on your body and need a rest. If you are unfortunate enough to be injured, let the injury heal properly...the effects can be amazing, just ask Roger!
