we all know it can take about 3 to 5 days for a muscle to recover from a workout, but how long does it take for your neurological system to recover? i know if it is over taxed, you could lose strength? or just burn out.

from what i know its about 72 hours but, maybe someone has some different information... or maybe someone can elaborate on it... thanks- 42gunz

Im not completely understanding your question. Things that can affect your neurogical system are diet, stress, small infection, exposure to pesticides, exposure to metal toxicity. (Not exercise) If your getting burned out from doing exercise, that either means you are overworking your body or you are not controlling your sugar levels (low blood sugar).
Basically, If you have a good diet (especially omega 3's) you should be ok. The only thing that I could relate would probably be stress. (Worrying about money, love, etc.)

I'm a biomedical engineer.

your right, your not understanding my question.
when you lift, you use different motor units... the heavier you lift the more stress it places on the motor units, the heavier you lift also more motor units are engaged. there is a thresh hold where it becomes exhausted and it take time for it to recover.... how long does that take? thats my question.

i will give you an example.... when you first start benching... you might go from 95lbs to 155 in a matter of six weeks. this isnt from muscle gain. this is neurological adaptation, and the ability to fire more motor units simutaniously. ... this system get taxed over time, and eventually becomes exausted... how long does it take between each session to recover?

exercise does affect the nuerological system err nervous system, i dont know what a biomedical engineer does, but i know what a exercise physiologist does..i thought maybe some one in this forum was an exersice physiologist..

i didnt understand this comment.... does this help with the type of recovery im asking about?

[42gunz]

any one evr come up with something for this....

zir red? any comment

You've got me stumped. I know exactly what you're talking about, but I've never come across a scientific answer to that question. I'm interested in hearing opinions on this one too.

Everything I've heard/read before is from other people's experience, not based on fact.
