Energy & Recovery
Ingest a protein & carbohydrate meal post training / workout / game.
Consume a high quality protein & carbohydrate meal immediately Post-Training such as, Recovery, NitroVol or SuperMass (depending on your Bodies makeup). The unique protein blend in Recovery is formulated to contain both fast and slow protein components. Consequently Recovery is formulated to stimulate muscle anabolism via its ability to both rapidly increase blood amino acid concentrations while simultaneously having anticatabolic effects via the more gradual digestion and absorption of its slow protein components. Furthermore, the low glycaemic index carbohydrates in Recovery are designed to create a more slow release of carbohydrates therefore contributing to the maintenance of blood glucose levels during the post-training period.
Consume adequate amounts of protein each and every day.
One factor to consider is your bodies' protein requirements each and every day. Remember protein is the second most plentiful thing besides water found in the human body. Click here to Calculate your daily protein requirements.
Inadequate daily protein intakes reduces the probability of any significant strength and muscle gains considerably. Appropriate protein supplements for use in keeping your protein levels up include: Whey Protein Isolate (WPI), Whey Protein Concentrate (WPC), Soy Protein Isolate
Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) are also beneficial for recover.
The greatest benefit to training athletes is the increase in metabolic efficiency or recovery that follows supplementation. Many athletes introducing Melibol (Body Science BCAAs) to their current supplement stack claim to feel a substantial decrease in the amount of post exercise muscle soreness soon after beginning this BCAA supplementation.Increased recovery enables more frequent training. Intense athletic training can affect the immune system, research on BCAA's has been reported to restore depleted glutamine stores and immune factors in elite athletes, and led to a reported one-third fewer symptoms of infection during the period of supplementation. (Bassit RA, Sawada LA, Bacurau RF, et al. 2000).
Creatine could be used as an aid to injury recovery
Injuries are an unfortunate fact of life. However, with advances in modern medicine, treating and rehabilitating injuries have come along way. With many injuries, loss of muscle mass and strength occurs as a consequence of the fact that the injured limb muscle or joint often has to be immobilised for a period of time. This lost muscle mass and strength must be regained during the rehabilitation process. This is where creatine may offer significant benefit. In a recent scientific study a plaster cast was used to immobilise the right leg of 22 healthy volunteers (Hepel et al., 2001). The two weeks immobilisation period resulted in a loss of muscle size and strength. After the plaster casts were removed, all volunteers began a 10-week rehabilitation program to regain their lost muscle size and strength. However, during the rehabilitation training only half the volunteers were ingesting Creatine and the remaining subjects were administered an inactive placebo (sugar). Researchers found that during the rehabilitation program the creatine group recovered their lost strength and muscle mass at a much faster rate than the placebo group. This study clearly illustrates that creatine may have broad therapeutic potential within the field of injury rehabilitation.
What about energy?
Energy levels are related to so many factors but most people would agree that they could do with some extra energy each and every day. Under times where additional energy is required and you may well be feeling a little lethargic then supplementation many be beneficial.
