Besides eating well and staying hydrated, consider nutritional supplements<\/strong> that can boost your endurance<\/em> and help you recover from your workouts<\/em>. A multivitamin\/mineral supplement<\/em> is a good place to make sure you’re covering the basics of your needs. But advanced training may benefit from additional help. Recent research on highly trained athletes has revealed some effective results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Move Faster<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cyclists who took 300 milligrams (mg) of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)<\/strong> for eight days increased their sprinting speed<\/em> and reduced their levels of fatigue<\/em>. The supplement may also reduce inflammation<\/em> following a hard workout or race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay Healthy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Long-term endurance training<\/strong> requires a delicate balance. Running, cycling, and climbing for long periods do amazing things for our cardiovascular health<\/a><\/em>, but can also make us susceptible to respiratory infections<\/em>. It has proven vitamin C<\/strong> effective for helping to prevent such conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Build Muscle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whey protein<\/strong> is an excellent source of the amino acid <\/a>leucine<\/strong>, which is essential for muscle repair and growth<\/em>. Derived from milk, they commonly found whey protein in protein drinks and powders<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Train Longer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your training load is high, consider taking omega-3 fatty acids<\/strong>.<\/a> Participants in a 2015 study who trained for 17 hours a week saw improvements in neuromuscular function<\/em> and were less fatigued<\/em> after taking a supplement that included 375 mg EPA, 230 mg DPA, and 510 mg DHA, which are many omega-3 <\/strong>fatty acids<\/strong>,<\/a> for three weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bust Fatigue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

They have shown glutathione supplements<\/strong> to reduce exercise-induced fatigue<\/em> and to suppress levels of lactic acid<\/em>, which often causes soreness following exercise. It naturally produced glutathione in the body, but stress, pollution, aging, and many other factors can deplete it. This antioxidant substance boosts strength and endurance in athletes<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Play Smarter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Athletes recovered faster from sprinting and made quicker decisions after drinking high-nitrate beet juice<\/strong> for a week. The findings seem beneficial for players in sports that involve prolonged, intermittent exercise<\/em>, such as rugby, football, or soccer. Participants drank about 4.7 ounces of beet juice daily and saw improvements of 3.5% in sprint performance and 3 percent in decision-making speed<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recover Better<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Drinking tart cherry juice<\/strong> helps prevent inflammation, oxidative stress, arterial stiffness, and pain<\/em> after intense physical exercise. One study<\/a> showed that drinking 12 ounces of a tart cherry juice blend for 8 consecutive days preserved more strength in fatigued muscles after exercise compared to a placebo<\/em>. When participants, who otherwise never exercised, performed repeated arm exercises, the placebo group’s strength was still reduced by 10% after four days, but the tart cherry group’s arm strength actually increased<\/em> by 6%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
