Do not let the exhaustion win – do not underestimate recovery!
Every physical activity is necessarily connected with tiredness or exhaustion which can cause decrease in physical performance. Tiredness is becoming more and more intensive and in certain moment you have to interrupt your activity. In some cases tiredness or exhaustion can even cause unpleasant injury. Basic scheme of process during physical activity is as follows: performance – tiredness – recovery.
The above mentioned process is cyclical and after quality recovery another performance can start and the whole cycle starts again. This cycle is connected with our whole life because we are not talking only about tiredness connected with sports activity but also e.g. with working life. During recovery used energy sources are restored, balance is rebuilt and regulatory and coordination mechanisms are corrected, too. Speed and quality of recovery is dependent on many factors - character of the activity, its intensity, length and also character of relaxation.
Recovery is a complex attitude and it uses number of instruments: from pedagogical, through psychological and pharmaceutical to biological instruments. We cannot forget about classic recovery instruments such as e.g. massages. But today we are going to point your attention to sports nutrition supporting recovery.
What are the basic recovery goals from the nutrition point of view? The biggest possible supply of liver and muscle glycogen and maximum supply of carbohydrates into muscle cell. Basic and the most important things to obtain the best possible recovery have to be done just after the end of performance – the sooner the better. If you follow the basic rules you will be able to get back to normal organism functioning in a very short period of time. Do not wait and start supplying carbohydrates and other functional substances just after the end of performance, the best within 20 minutes post-performance.
What are the nutrition supplements which can be used to provide quality recovery?The best solutions are carbohydrates and protein-carbohydrates concentrates that provide you with important, easily absorbable carbohydrates, or protein, immediately post physical activity. We recommend great carbohydrates drink REGENER – special
recovery formula intended for exhausted organism after physical performance. REGENER supplies sufficient amount of carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins for maximally fast start of recovery processes. Drink also contains number of functional substances supporting recovery (BCAA, glutamine, arginine etc.). If you feel really exhausted post-performance and if you want to intensify process of recovery you can repeat the dosage of REGENER once again or try our protein-carbohydrates concentrate ENDURO GAINER. Prepare cocktail and supply body with carbohydrates and also proteins that also serve during physical activity as source of
energy. We always have to count with partial protein degradation and amino acids usage as source of energy during physical activity. Our organism always uses also proteins for energy coverage and this ratio is increased if the performance is long-lasting and storage of easily usable energy is used. To eliminate this undesirable state, it is very important to supply amino acids BCAA before performance. Try ENDURO BCAA, pure crystalline form of amino acids BCAA – L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine and L-Valin in optimal 2:1:1 ratio which is good for burdened organism. If you supply BCAA before performance you prevent muscle mass degradation.
Do not forget also about your joints which are burdened by physical activity. Provide your joints with quality recovery they deserve which will be provided by ENDURO FLEXIT. It contains complex of key substances for protection, recovery and connective tissue and bone tissue nutrition. ENDURO FLEXIT except from
glucosamine sulphate, chondroitine sulphate and MSM also contains Aloe Vera which has significant anti-inflammatory effects.
This complex supplementation will support not only recovery of liver and muscle glycogen but it will also support muscle mass recovery and last but not least recovery of burdened joints.
You will be able not only to supply used energy sources but also protect muscle mass against undesirable devastation caused by difficult training.
If you want to enjoy your activity you should not finish your sport by the end of your activity e.g. getting out of the bicycle. Sport is not only pleasure but it can also hurt. Recovery is a process during which is our organism returned to balance. It means that energy sources and destroyed tissues are renewed and water and electrolytes environment is balanced. Quality recovery is basic thing for progressively increasing performance. It will allow you to increase your training units. It will help you to shift your limits a bit further. Without quality recovery you will not be able to achieve significant progress. Quality recovery will allow you to do the other day what you really want and you will be also able to enjoy it.
