what is Supercompensation in fitness

Supercompensation is a training principle in fitness that refers to the process by which the body adapts to a training stimulus in order to improve performance. During training, the body experiences a temporary drop in performance due to fatigue and muscle damage. However, following the training, the body undergoes a period of recovery during which it repairs and rebuilds damaged tissues, replenishes energy stores, and adapts to the training stimulus. If the training stimulus is repeated at the appropriate time during the recovery period, the body will supercompensate, meaning it will exceed its previous level of performance. This principle is often used in athletic training to help athletes improve their performance by strategically timing their training and recovery periods.
