Trisport Recupro Orange | 1.5 kg

Recupro is an ideal recovery drink with carbohydrates, protein hydrolysate and extra leucine, especially for competitive athletes. Protein hydrolysate provides faster and smoother digestion than protein isolate.

• Stimulates muscle recovery and accelerates the build-up of carbohydrates and proteins in the muscle.
• Fast recovery after intense training or competition.
• Both for endurance and strength athletes.

Composition

Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates are extremely important for good sports performance. Indeed, they are very important sources of energy for the skeletal muscles during prolonged and/or intensive training such as in endurance sports or intensive intermittent sports such as soccer.

• After a competition, an intensive workout or a long-duration workout, the carbohydrates, occurring in the muscles in the form of muscle sugar or glycogen, are depleted.
• In order to be able to start the next competition or training in optimal conditions, the glycogen stores must be restored as quickly as possible.

Immediately after stopping exercise, the muscles are in an ideal situation to build up glycogen quickly. This is due to increased insulin sensitivity, increased glycogen synthetase activity, and increased transport of glucose from the bloodstream into the muscle cell via the GLUT-4 protein in the muscle cell membrane.

• Because of this ideal metabolic situation, glycogen resynthesis proceeds most rapidly up to about two hours after exercise. An athlete should make smart use of this, by taking in enough carbohydrates as soon as possible after the race or workout.

Research has shown that the best results are obtained by taking 1.2 grams of carbohydrates per kg of body weight immediately after exercise, and repeating this at 2, 4 and 6 hours after exercise.

• Eventually, the athlete should try to take 8 to 10 grams of carbohydrates per 24 hours.
• The first two intakes are preferably in liquid form because this is how the absorption of carbohydrates, protein and water occurs most rapidly.

Protein Hydrolysate and Leucine

Recent studies have shown that when protein peptides and leucine are added to a carbohydrate mixture, recovery is faster. By using a carbohydrate-protein-leucine mixture after exercise, smaller amounts of carbohydrates per hour are needed to still achieve optimal recovery (+/- 0.8 to 1 gram of KH per kg of body weight).

• By using protein hydrolysate instead of protein isolate, absorption occurs more smoothly and quickly.
• An additional benefit of adding proteins in the form of a hydrolysate and leucine is that muscle recovery and muscle building after competition or training is accelerated.

Leucine

L-leucine together with L-valine and L-isoleucine form the BCAAs (= Branched Chain Amino Acids). These amino acids together form about 1/3 of our muscle proteins and are therefore very important for athletes.

• Of these three amino acids, leucine stimulates protein synthesis the most.
• Addition of leucine to a recovery drink strongly stimulates protein synthesis after exercise.
