The Power of Restful Sleep
Sleep is crucial for high-level sports performance.
Research suggests that there is a significant correlation between an NBA player’s postgame tweeting activity and their subsequent shooting accuracy.
This indicates that getting enough rest can predict almost 2% of shooting accuracy.

Personal preferences and biases can significantly impact training and bodybuilding.
For instance, an individual’s inclination towards sports rather than physique can influence their approach to training and sport-related activities.
