“Recovery is huge part on our sport”- Gabby Thomas on how studying neurobiology helped in understanding the importance of sleep

Gabby Thomas opened up about how studying neurobiology during her bachelor’s at Harvard University helped her in understanding the importance of good sleep.

On her appearance on The Daily Show, Thomas stated (at 5.19):

"So I think I actually had a bit of an advantage studying neurobiology when I was an undergrad, because I grew to have a very deep understanding of how the brain could actually help you athletically and what was important. For example, recovery is huge in our sport. It is almost as important as the actual racing and the actual practicing. And understanding neuroplasticity, and the neural pathways, and how they change when you're doing certain things for your recovery was really important."

She added:

"Understanding how sleep was very important-- if you're not getting enough sleep every day, how that can detrimentally affect your training, how can it affect how you compete, and just really having that understanding for it. Understanding how going through training and the repetition, the muscle memory, all of that is integral to being successful in track and field so actually understanding that and appreciating it, I think, really helped me."
