High Protein Sport Bar

Description

Protein is an essential nutrient that is needed in the daily diet and can be found in foods such as meat, fish, eggs, milk and nuts. It plays a role in maintaining muscle mass as well as contributing to muscle growth . Athletes have an increased need for protein intake, so the recommended protein intake for them is 1.2-1.7 g per kg of body weight per day. This protein intake should be spread evenly between meals throughout the day. Physical exercise, and in particular strength training, leads to an increase in protein breakdown and protein synthesis. By reducing protein breakdown as a result of strength exercise, it is important that you consume enough protein to stimulate muscle protein synthesis as this will be the basis for muscle growth. Research has shown that consuming 20 g of protein after a workout is sufficient to stimulate maximal muscle protein synthesis (Philips 2012) 1 and may therefore contribute to muscle growth. Whey protein is one of the highest quality proteins and contains the highest amount of amino acids. It is absorbed more quickly in the body compared to casein protein and is therefore very suitable for consumption after a workout when improving muscle protein synthesis is key (for example more than one session per day).
