During intense training and competition, the main source of fuel is muscle glycogen and therefore in prolonged events these fuel stores become depleted. It is very important that athletes replenish these stores to enhance recovery and ensure they are adequately prepared for their next session. The Etixx Recovery Sport Bar contains carbohydrates that can be quickly absorbed for optimal replenishment. Not only that, but it is also very important that athletes consume protein following intense sessions. This contributes to the maintenance of muscle mass. The Etixx Recovery Sport Bar contains whey protein which is one of the most complete protein on the market and contains all the essential amino acids needed for recovery. Combining the intake of carbohydrate and protein in recovery has also been found to enhance muscle glycogen replenishment.
The Etixx Recovery Sport Bar provides approx. 17 g carbohydrates and approx. 13 g of protein (depending on flavour) and is an example of an ideal recovery food.
