Stretching, hydration, protein, massage, compression, cryotherapy — With so many recovery techniques out there, how do you know what actually works? We dig into the research to separate science-backed strategies from mere fitness folklore.
When it comes to optimizing athletic performance and recovery, the science is clear: sleep and nutrition are the ultimate dynamic duo. In this article, we break down these findings and highlight how our products can help you unlock the restorative power of sleep and recovery.
When it comes to what’s in our food, synthetic colors have long been a hot topic of discussion. Following the FDA’s ban on Red Dye #3 we thought we’d take a closer look at the research that’s out there on these common additives that are widely present in everything from sports drinks to candy and even foods that are marketed to our kids.
Every athlete is unique. To really optimize a hydration and nutrition plan, athletes need to understand their sweat. Knowing your sweat can provide the pieces of the puzzle and eliminate the guesswork behind electrolyte and fluid replacement strategies.
Leucine, isoleucine, and valine are amino acids better known as branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs). These essential building blocks of protein are unique, and can play a role in fueling, reduced fatigure and soreness, as well as muscle and bone health.
We explore the science behind high carbohydrate fueling methods utilizing fructose and their potential as a new gateway to enhanced athletic performance, power output, and recovery in endurance athletes.
To hit the sweet spot of energy balance, an endurance athlete should have a proper fueling plan to ingest enough calories. Athletes and elite athletes generally do not consume enough calories to meet the demands of their sport.
