Roger Tarragó, podiatry student, graduate in physical education and linked to the field of personal training, shares his vision on the potential of NESA and of work on sleep within sports performance. In his testimony, he explains that his professional environment moves especially between basketball, physical activity and a more holistic conception of training, in which different profiles collaborate to improve the global state of the athlete. From that perspective, he considers especially valuable all the knowledge he is receiving about the relationship between physiology, nervous system and performance.
As he relates, one of the questions that most interests him is to verify how, in a field as optimized as high-level sport, there is still margin for improvement in less exploited aspects, such as sleep. In his opinion, many performance variables are already very measured and controlled, so finding a way that allows obtaining significant improvements, even if small, can make a big difference. In that context, he understands that optimizing rest quality can become a strategic tool of enormous value.
Roger emphasizes that even a 5% improvement in a year would be extraordinary for an elite athlete, and that if part of that improvement could be achieved by acting on sleep and recovery, the impact would be enormous. Therefore, he recommends this type of training to professionals who want to continue expanding resources to improve performance and well-being of their athletes or clients.
