• Do not increase more than the 12% intensity and training volume per week

• Combine your sport with others to reduce the load on the tissues and to continue training at the physiological level

• Take the macronutrients y micronutrients necessary for the proper functioning of your locomotor system and repair

• Performs neuromuscular work Compensatory a minimum of 3 times a week
