Sports Supplements Increase Power, Speed & Endurance
Want More Speed, Strength & Power?
Are you a competitive sports man or woman, wanting the extra edge over your rivals or opponents? Then why not consider using sports supplements such as protein shakes? Sports supplements are intended to address your nutritional shortcomings, thereby boosting your athletic abilities. Below are some examples of sports supplements and when they would be required.
Protein Supplements for Sports People
Whey Protein
The protein requirements of a sports person can be more than double that of the average person, to build and maintain muscle speed, power & endurance. To address this, you can eat a lot more fish, chicken, eggs, beef, etc. which would mean a lot more food shopping, cooking, eating and washing up along with a big increase in your daily calories, leading to a possible increase in body fat. Or, you could supplement your existing diet with a whey protein shake 2-3 times per day, typically costing just £0.35 per serving and only containing 100 calories per serving.
Creatine Supplements for Vegetarians
Micronised Creatine
Another example would be a sports person who is a vegetarian, as their diets do not include foods such as beef, which contain creatine. Creatine is required by the body, for use in the muscles during high intensity physical activity. If your diet is lacking in Creatine, your performance will also be lacking. Creatine has undergone more research than any other supplement and is has been shown to give no adverse side affects, other than an increase in muscle size, strength and power. However, as more water will be drawn to the muscle when supplementing with Creatine, it is essential that you drink 8-10 glasses of water per day, to avoid dehydration. Creatine gives best results for vegetarians, but it also gives results to non-vegetarians, making it one of the best dietary supplements available for any physical sport, with noticeable speed and strength improvements within 7 days.
Meal Replacement Shakes for Sports People with Poor Diets
CNP Meal Replacement
A third example would be a sports person who does not manage to get enough fruit and veg, or protein in their diets. The answer would be to supplement your diet with a meal replacement shake in between regular meals. A typical meal replacement shake contains around 40g of protein as well as 100% of the RDA of most vitamins and minerals. As meal replacement shakes are in liquid form, the nutrients are absorbed better than regular multivitamins that come in tablet form. Vitamins and minerals are required by your body for important processes, and, as they cannot be stored by the body, they needed to be included in your daily diet.
