A 2019 meta-review found that "dairy milk may provide either comparable or superior recovery nutrition qualities with regards to muscle protein synthesis, glycogen replenishment, rehydration, and subsequent endurance exercise performance, when compared to non-nutritive, carbohydrate replacement, and (or) carbohydrate-electrolyte alternatives." [9]
The evidence for replenishing depleted energy levels only relates when they are completely gone at the beginning of training, such as during fasted exercise. [5] This is where large amounts of the day go by without any eating to spike and deplete energy levels to trick the body, followed by a training session (with low levels of nutritional energy) to force the body to be uncomfortable.
In all athletic programs, three features should be present: (1) emphasizing prolonged lower-intensity exercise, as opposed to repetitive max intensity exercises; (2) adequate rest periods and a high-carbohydrate diet, to replenish glycogen stores; and (3) proper hydration, to enhance renal clearance of myoglobin. [18]
[8] About two hours after a workout and typically for seven to eleven days, muscles swell due to an inflammation response as tissue damage is repaired. [9] Longer-term hypertrophy occurs due to more permanent changes in muscle structure. Hirono et al. explained the causes of Muscle swelling: [10] "Muscle swelling occurs as a result of the ...
Research backs this up: Young men who consumed more protein while losing weight and on an intense exercise regiment gained about 2.5 pounds of muscle, while the young men who consumed less protein ...
Unless glycogen stores are replenished during exercise, glycogen stores in such an individual will be depleted after less than 2 hours of continuous cycling [11] or 15 miles (24 km) of running. Training and carbohydrate loading can raise these reserves as high as 880 g (3600 kcal), correspondingly raising the potential for uninterrupted exercise.
A review that considered berberine’s effects on heart health found some studies supporting this claim, but due to the high risk of bias, the researchers recommended more clinical trials be ...
Glucose (or another simple sugar) is often consumed as well since this quickly replenishes any glycogen lost during the exercise period. If consuming recovery drink after a workout, to maximize muscle protein anabolism, it is suggested that the recovery drink contain glucose (dextrose), protein (usually whey ) hydrolysate containing mainly ...
