TARGETING THE ATHLETE

The Fuel + Recovery – Balance Training System (BTS) delivers a broad

spectrum of fundamental sports nutrition supplements to assist the

athlete to meet the challenge at every training session. For the athlete

who is looking to combine nutrient intake to the best effect, the Fuel +

Recovery – BTS makes it easier to make the right nutrition choices.

UNDERSTANDING THE TRAINING DYNAMICSRegular physical training requires careful planning to ensure that the

positive benefits outweigh any negative impact. Injury and illness can

ruin the best intentions, if athletes fail to allow for sufficient recovery

periods between training sessions, and fail to pay at tention to proper

nutrition. Athletes who aim to increase body size and their strength

capacity will frequently train as much as 4-6 days per week. With such

high demands on the body, close attention to nutrition is essential.

The structure of the individual athlete’s training programme will vary

considerably, but often involve a combination of both cardiovascular

training to create an increase in heart and lung capacity (aerobic

fitness) and resistance training, which encourages lean muscle

development and strength. When gains in lean muscle tissue are

paramount, resistance training will dominate.

A well-designed training plan should target specific aspects of strength

and fitness and cycle workloads, leaving adequate periods of rest,

during which other parts of the body can be worked. The rest period

is crucial to enable the body to carry out repair to damaged muscle

tissue and slowly become fitter and stronger. For committed athletes

who train multiple times a week and often per day, their training

programme structure is critical to ensure maximal gain and avoid

injury.

A basic training schedule, demonstrating adequaterest periods between similar sets of exercise, may look

something like this:

dietary protein in a convenient form that helps quantify actual daily

protein intake levels and make sure targets are achieved.

In addition to Whey Protein Isolates discussed in Module 2, some

of the common dietary sources of protein used in formulated protein

powders include:

Whey ProteinConcentrate

(WPC)

As a result of ultra-filtration manufacturing

process, WPC is an excellent source of protein,typically with a content greater than 80%. WPC

may contain small amounts of fat, although much

of the lactose and minerals have been removed.

Hydrolysed

Whey Protein

Increases the digestion and absorption rate by

partially digesting the complex protein into smaller

chains of amino acids called peptides. Can reduce

the incidence of allergy.

Caseinates &

Casein

Aside from Whey, Casein is the other major protein

fraction in cow’s milk. An excellent source ofGlutamine.

Egg Protein

Historically referred to as the ideal protein. Rich in

Arginine, an amino acid believed to aid the release

of human growth hormone and Nitric Oxide (NO2)

and consequently muscle development.

Soy Protein

A high-quality vegetable source of protein. Low

in fat and cholesterol free, soy protein is ideal

for vegetarian athletes and those with dairy

allergies.

100% WHEY PROTEIN WPC/WPI

For athletes committed to developing lean muscle mass and looking for

an extra boost to muscle growth, this advanced formula blends Whey

Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Concentrate and Hydrolysed Whey todeliver around 23g of protein per serve. Additional free-form amino

acids, Arginine and Glutamine are included to encourage the muscle

development process and promote positive nitrogen balance. Balance

Fuel + Recovery – 100% Whey Protein is the ideal choice before and

after exercise to meet the heavy demands of training.

SPORTS NUTRITION AND

THE FUEL + RECOVERY SYSTEM

CATABOLISM (CATABOLIC PHASE)

The process by which complex substances are

reduced to their simple precursors. Often accompanied

by the release of energy to fuel the body. i.e. The breakdown

of muscle for energy.

During each training session, the body enters into a catabolic phase,

in which the body utilises internal stores of carbohydrate, protein and

fat energy to fuel exercise and meet the increased demand for energy.

With this in mind, the athlete’s priority should be to:

• Maximise carbohydrate and amino acids (protein) availability

prior to beginning exercise. This helps to delay the onset of

catabolism and ensures that 100% effort can be delivered at each

training session

• Halt the catabolic effect quickly after exercise stops. Consuming

a supplement high in both carbohydrates and protein is ideal and

should be taken on board as soon as possible. Providing adequate

nutrients at this stage is central to optimal recovery

• Address the additional demands created by their individual training

programme throughout the day by following a systematic, well-

balanced and tailored nutrition plan

When gains in muscle tissue and strength are a priority, the athlete

must understand the mechanism behind muscle growth. Muscle tissue

is the body’s store of protein. Dietary protein is broken down into

smaller sub-units called amino acids. Those amino acids that are not

immediately required by the body are reassembled and stored in the

form of muscle tissue. This muscle tissue can be called upon at any

time to provide the body with amino acids for the synthesis of the new

proteins such as hormones, enzymes or structural tissue, when dietary

intake is insufficient. These dynamics highlight the need for an excellent

dietary intake of protein, both to build muscle tissue and reduce the

need to breakdown existing muscle tissue.

PROTEIN TURNOVER (NITROGEN BALANCE)

• The rate at which proteins are synthesised and

degraded

• Protein synthesis is stimulated by resistance exercise, high

protein intakes and internal requirements

• Protein degradation is stimulated during energy decits,

excessive workloads, illness, stress etc

• Depending upon the objective, the key is to encourage

protein synthesis (muscle gain) over degradation or to

maintain a balance (weight control)

DAILY PROTEIN FIX

There are many times during the day when the athlete is at an increased

risk of muscle catabolism because of reduced availability of free amino

acids within the body. Throughout the overnight fasting period,

first thing in the morning, post-exercise and after long periods

without food, are prime examples of periods when the rate of muscle

breakdown may be increased.

To combat these ‘muscle wasting’ episodes, the body needs additional

protein. Formulated protein powders provide an excellent source of

Looking more closely at the body’s need for protein during exercise, it is

clear that some amino acids are needed in greater amounts than others.

Achieving the correct amino acid profile means consuming a varied

intake of protein rich foods. The changing demand for amino acids

depends upon the roles they play within the body. If one particular amino

acid is drained from the pool of free amino acids circulating within the

body, the formation of new proteins will be adversely affected.

The mechanics of the supply and demand for amino acids are illustrated

as follows:

Supply fromdietary intakeof protein

Supply frommuscle tissuebreakdown

Demand forthe synthesis of

functional proteinsi.e. hormones,enzymes

Demand forthe synthesis of

structural proteinsi.e. muscle and

bone tissue

Demand for theprovision of energy

BRANCHED CHAIN AMINO ACIDS

Of all the amino acids, the Branched Chain Amino Acids ( Isoleucine,

Leucine and Valine), are particularly important, given their vital role

in muscle repair and recovery. The BCAA’s are heavily utilised as an

energy source and can, during prolonged exercise, be converted into

glucose (carbohydrate) energy to help sustain performance. This can

result in increased muscle breakdown and associated damage and

soreness, as additional BCAA’s are released into circulation.

Ensuring an increased dietary intake of BCAA’s can help to maintain

muscle mass.

Balance BCAA provides 600mg of Branched Chain Amino Acids for muscle maintenance and

recovery following workouts or training.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

Muscle energy formula Assists recovery following training

Helps maintain muscle mass High potency branched chain amino acids

WHO SHOULD USE IT?

training individuals.

WHEN & HOW?

Take 1-2 capsules before exercise, and 1-2 capsules after exercise.

SIZES: 60 caps, 150 caps

BCAA

GLUTAMINE

If the dietary intake is inadequate, increased muscle breakdown, which

can occur during intense exercise, will result in the release of the amino

acid Glutamine (from muscle tissue) into the circulation to provide

energy and a source of free nitrogen. Increased Glutamine during

exercise is required to fuel immune cells, detoxify the body and for the

formation of required proteins and glycogen.

Note: Glutamine makes up approximately 60% of your dry muscle

weight, therefore it makes sense that supplementation may result

in an increase in muscle tissue. Also Glutamine may assist in the

transportation of the other amino acids into the muscle.

Glutamine intake – studies have shown that athletes who supplement

with Glutamine enhance their performance and gain muscle. Studies

are based on 0.2kg/kg/day of supplemental Glutamine. Best times forsupplementation is upon rising, before training, after training and

before bed.

Glutamine provides 80% of the body’s free nitrogen and is important to help maintainpositive nitrogen balance following intense exercise.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

Assist recovery post exercise Help maintain positive nitrogen balance Helps maintain healthy digestive function

WHO SHOULD USE IT?

Tri- and team sports competitors, bodybuilders and weight-training individuals, elite athletes.

WHEN & HOW?

Adults: Take 1-5 capsules daily, or as directed by yourhealthcare professional. Take evenly throughout the day,including one after training.

SIZES: 50 caps, 150 caps

GLUTAMINE 1000

NUTRITIONAL SUPPORT

Vitamins and minerals play a variety of critical roles within the body,

and the demands of sustained exercise can result in an increased need

for these micronutrients to fulfil their optimal function. The athlete’srequirement for vitamins and minerals may be greater than that

recommended for the general public. However, greatly exceeding the

recommended daily intakes is not recommended and does not result

in extra benefits on performance than simply meeting demand – the
