The benefits of energy with protein
Most athletes know how important protein is for recovery, but did you know it can also help to reduce fatigue and muscle damage when taken with energy on endurance events. HIGH5 explain more.
HIGH5’s newest product, Energy Bar with Protein, is loaded with 10g of plant-based protein and 19g of carbohydrates per bar… but what is so good about carbohydrate energy with protein?
When you have a multi-day endurance event, foresee a period of intense training, or plan on taking a step up in training volume (such as a training camp), it can be useful to take on a blend of energy and protein.
Research shows that carbohydrate-protein ingestion improves endurance performance to a greater extent than carbohydrate alone, particularly in cycling. This shows a benefit for getting some additional protein into your nutrition plan alongside your carbohydrate intake during training.
Protein isn’t just for recovery – research also shows that carbohydrates with additional protein calories reduces muscle damage, as well as time to fatigue in endurance athletes. Athletes taking part in endurance activities can benefit from additional protein with their carbohydrate energy.
When taking on a multi-day event or during periods of intense training, it’s more vital than usual to take care of your body and ensure your recovery, so you can continue day after day.
