Goal: Recovery
Optimal performance and improvement
The recovery post-training is often neglected but is nearly as important as the training. This is the time when muscles regenerate and until they have done so performance will be reduced. It is important to have a consistent method for this and follow a diet regime that provides sufficient protein and carbohydrates for the muscles to recover and muscle glycogen reserves to replenish.
Recovery from exercise training must be an integral component of the overall training program and is essential for optimal performance and improvement. If rate of recovery is improved, higher training volumes and intensities are possible without the detrimental effects of overtraining
In this phase NAMEDSPORT> can help with protein shakes like Star Whey 100% ISOLATE, alkalizing mineral salts contained in Pro Basic, amino acids like Aminonam Sport,L- Glutamine and Branched Chain Amino Acids, all of which ensure your recovery time is maximized.
Recovery is a critical period both after training and competition. This is the time the body regenerates and builds. We need to cover certain issues:
Hydration: Make sure that sufficient fluids are taken to optimally hydrate the body. A guideline would be to drink around 50ml per kilo of bodyweight
Vitamins & Minerals: A varied diet should provide foods rich in the required amounts as they promote many physiological functions. Intense training creates oxidative stress and the free radicals created need to be neutralized.
Carbohydrates: A varied diet with carbohydrates from pasta, bread, potatoes will help restore the glycogen stores. A rule of thumb is 5g to 10g of carbs per kilo of bodyweight per day for an active athlete.
Protein: A varied diet of fish, meat and dairy products will provide protein that can be supplemented as required with measured servings of protein rich shakes. A guide would be 1.5g to 2g of protein per kilo of bodyweight for an active athlete.
To assist in the above NAMEDSPORT> has a number of products to support the athlete. Probasic alkalizing minerals counter acidosis, BCAA’s to help energy production and to fight muscle catabolism, Magnesium and vitamins to fight fatigue. All NAMEDSPORT> protein shakes will provide a small protein rich meal in a great tasting shake.
