| What should exactly should you take during workouts then? In the past, drinks based on carbohydrates and electrolytes have been popular. Current research indicates, however, the following benefits of just adding protein to carbohydrates.
1. Exercise endurance is increased. 2. Reduction in muscle glycogen consumption. 3. Muscle protein damage is reduced. On top of the above benefits, current research has shown that if you add the L-Leucine amino acid to the above protein + carbohydrate mix drink, the body's protein synthesis is promoted leading to overall muscular growth. In 2007, it's safe to say scientifically that the protein, carbohydrate, L-Leucine mix is not only a much more effective mix than taking protein, carbohydrates, and citric acid individually, but is also superior to the mainstream carbohydrate electrolyte mix drink. To list the specific benefits: “better increase in endurance”, “better prevention of muscular catabolism,” “better prevention of lactic acid buildup,” “better production of muscle glycogen.” On top of all this, traditional sports drinks fall far short in providing the large amount of calories required by athletes intent on incorporating the latest scientific research into their workouts. |
