Muscle Protein Food by Horleys Horleys Muscle Protein Food is a formulated sports supplement that can be used to assist the nutrition and training programme of any sports person where the provision of energy and muscle growth are key requirements. Product Features:
Ideal for: All sports, including team sports (rugby, rugby league, hockey, soccer, netball), resistance training, cycling, athletics, running, swimming and other water sports. When to take: As soon as possible after training or a workout (within an hour, preferably within half an hour), to make the most of your opportunity for recovery and growth. Muscle Protein Food also makes an ideal in-between meal snack, and provides extra nutrients to fuel your day when used at breakfast time. Muscle Protein Food can be used up to three times per day.

However, training nutrition is one of the most neglected areas - many fail to follow sound sports nutrition practices in their everyday training. As athletes spend more time in training than in competition, it makes sense to maximise every training session (Figure 1). Food fuels the body to perform during training, when skills are fine tuned and fitness enhanced, ultimately benefiting sports performance. Athletes who fail to plan their meals and snacks on a training day may start training in dehydrated and/or hungry states. Failure to eat properly before and after training eventually leads to reduced performance. This results in frustration as an athlete fail to perform up to expectations or is unable to last the distance in training. The nature, type and duration of training determines an athlete's energy intake and nutrient needs. Eating should match the phases of a training schedule, so meeting the extra energy output with increased energy input via frequent meals and snacks is essential. Arriving at training with insufficient body energy reserves risks lowering glycogen stores (the form of usable energy in muscle and other tissues) to the point where early fatigue and injury are a possibility. Training is the time to experiment with nutritional strategies for use during competition and is also the time when weight should be maintained, not gained or lost. For an average persons diet, the total daily energy intake is derived as 50% from carbohydrate, 30% from fat and the remainder from protein. For a training individual, these percentages change to 55-60%, 20-25% and 15% respectively, due to increased carbohydrate (CHO) requirements to sustain muscle fuel stores. Studies show that athletes who consume 55-70% of their energy from carbohydrate rich food perform longer than when carbohydrate intake is low. Eating 6-10g of nutrient dense carbohydrates per kg of body weight on daily basis is encouraged. The recommended levels of protein are 1.2-1.7g per kg body weight, depending on training programmes and individual sport ie. strength, endurance or recreational. Protein should be of high quality and preferably from different sources. Some fat should be provided from unsaturated sources. Fluid intake and fluid balance are very important aspects of training. Aim to replace fluid losses during and after each training session during the day and at meals. Other areas of concern include ensuring electrolytes and minerals intakes. Aim to eat a meal two to three hours before training and a light (low fat, high CHO) snack one hour before training, if necessary. Table 1: How much CHO to eat? Activity Carbohydrate Requirement of Athletes Quantity/kg body weight Up to 60 minutes moderate to high intensity activity daily (golf, sprint training, weight training) 5-6g /kg 60-120 minutes moderate to high intensity activity daily (rugby, league, rowing, soccer, netball, racquet sports, cricket, martial arts, cycling). 7-8g/kg Endurance training 2-5 hours or intense daily training (road cycling, competitive tennis) 9-10g/kg Extreme training greater than 5 hours intense daily training (Ironman, Coast to Coast, multisport -endurance events) 11-12g/kg Some athletes (especially endurance and distance training athletes) may require higher amounts of CHO to support long hours of training. Higher CHO intakes are also needed for athletes training at high intensity where CHO is the preferred fuel. (Table 1). The goals of the training diet are to optimise glycogen storage and blood glucose levels before training, to delay fatigue during training, and promote faster recovery after training. |
