Effect of training on central nervous system

I am aware of the effects that physical activity has on our nervous system and I am aware of the increase in popularty of new tools that can monitor that stress and inform you when additional rest is needed, etc. However there seems to be little focus around managing that stress (being proactive) with the majority of the focus on being reactive which in my opinion is a little to late as the only remedy available is to usually reduce your training.

I have been using techniques that originate within meditation for a while as part of my cool down/post workout routine and the results are really encouraging. Less tired, less sore, etc. I push myself hard, train 6 days a week and can't imagine surviving without this change to my program. My question is whether this is just something that appeals to me or whether i should share. I have extensive experience in meditation so such an approach might only appeal to me but just wondering if other people out there who are serious about their training would benefit.

I am also conscious that many people aren't comfortable with traditional meditation. That said i have distilled my practice to a simple 5 minutes at the end of my training session. Love to hear anybody's thoughts on the subject.
