Post-Workout Nutrition Supports: Improved recovery Less muscle soreness Increased ability to build muscle Improved bone mass Improved ability to utilize body fat These benefits seem to work for virtually everyone, regardless of gender or age. Why are workout and post-workout nutrition so important? When we work out intensely, we damage tissues at the microlevel, and we use up our body's fuel. This is what ultimately makes us stronger, leaner, fitter, and more muscular, but in the short term it requires serious repair. Repair and rebuilding always occurs through the breakdown of old, damaged proteins (aka protein breakdown) and the construction of new ones (aka protein synthesis), which is a process known collectively as protein turnover. Muscle protein synthesis is increased slightly (or unchanged) after resistance workouts, while protein breakdown increases dramatically. We’re doing a lot more breaking-down than building-up, this is why a Post-Workout Drink helps so much. The relationship between these two parameters (rate of muscle protein synthesis and muscle protein breakdown) represents your metabolic basis for muscle growth. Muscle hypertrophy occurs when a positive protein balance can be established during recovery, so in other words when we make sure we have enough raw materials available for protein synthesis to occur, so that it does not lag behind protein breakdown. This is especially difficult with endurance athletes as protein synthesis drops and protein breakdown goes up. Studies show that this trend can be reversed, specifically, protein synthesis is stimulated, and protein breakdown is suppressed when you consume the right type of nutrients after exercise.
