Sports & Excercise
Training and nutrition always underpin athletic performance, however dietary supplements may play an important supportive role. Being physically active can improve your brain health, help manage weight, reduce the risk of disease, strengthen bones and muscles, and improve your ability to do everyday activities. Adults who sit less and do any amount of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity gain some health benefits.
Supplements are very popular in the sporting world; from sports foods that provide additional macronutrients, to powders that may improve alertness. Whether you’re an athlete or a novice starting on a fitness journey, supplementation to complement a balanced diet may assist with some deficiencies caused by periods of training, so as not to compromise sports performance and avoid incurring injuries or chronic fatigue.
Common exercise related challenges could include:
- Muscle stiffness
- Slow recovery
- Fatigue
- Cramping
- Poor athletic performance
- Needing longer periods of rest
- Injuries
- Feeling of heavy limbs
