Sports nutrition can play an important role in our daily nutrition, not only for those serious about sports and performance but also for the everyday exerciser who is looking to improve performance or achieve certain body goals.
For anyone to gain the most from training sports nutrition, in particular protein is essential to aid muscle growth and repair. Gaining muscle and/or enhancing recovery requires an increase in protein within the body. As we exercise, the demand of a positive protein balance and protein breakdown is increased, therefore as exercise increases so too should your protein intake. Exercise instigates muscle growth whilst protein facilitates recovery and adaptation. This is where sports nutrition comes in to play for any type of exerciser from the elite athlete to the everyday gym goer and Sunday League football player.
Many people struggle to constantly prepare nutritious food, therefore protein shakes and bars that have the nutrients your body needs are a great way to ensure you get the right nutrition to achieve your personal goals.
