The Fitness Center is used to recover energy lost in official matches (8–12%) and training sessions (6–10%).

* **Recovery Efficiency.** Each level increases the recovery cap by 1% — from 81% at level 1 up to 100% at level 20.
* **Charging Capability.** Players can be charged above 100% in the Fitness Center. The cap increases with building level — from 101% at level 1 to 120% at level 20. Useful for keeping players match-ready during busy competition periods. Refer to the "Fitness Center upgrade information" table below.
* **Capacity Expansion:** Every 5 levels increases the number of players who can recover simultaneously by one.

Energy is a key parameter that affects player's accessibility and performance in matches.

It is consumed during **both training sessions** and **official matches.**\
The rate of energy loss depends on a **player’s age** and the **number of matches played in a row.**

Detailed information about energy management can be found in **section 14:** [**Simulation of matches in Lazy Football**.](https://docs.lazy.football/how-to-lazy-football/match-simulation-and-roaster#player-energy-and-performance)

* Players aged 27+ recover 20% less than base.

**Start-of-Season & Injury Recovery:**

* At the start of a new season or after recovering from an injury, players receive energy equal to 80% + your Fitness Center level. For example: Level 1 = 81%, Level 20 = 100%.

### Working with NFT Specialists

NFT Specialists from the Lazy Staff collection enhance energy recovery via the “Physiotherapy” skill. The higher the skill, the more efficiently energy is recovered.
