Tapering in combat sports is a strategic approach to maintaining peak physical condition while prioritizing recovery, crucial for optimal performance on fight night. Similar to fine-tuning an instrument before a concert, a well-planned taper carefully manages fatigue, volume, intensity, and recovery to set the stage for excellence when the bell rings.
