Find out the best post-workout foods to refuel and recover your body! When it comes to exercise, what you do before and after your workout is just as important as the workout itself. Many people make the mistake of thinking that all they need to do is exercise and then they can eat whatever they want. But if you really want to see results, you need to focus on both your pre-workout nutrition and your post-workout nutrition. What you eat after a workout is crucial for recovery. Your muscles are depleted of glycogen (the storage form of carbohydrate) after a tough workout, so it’s important to refuel with carbohydrates and protein as soon as possible. Protein is essential for muscle repair and growth, while carbs help replenish energy stores in the body.

This book was released on 2020-05-21 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The desire to improve muscle function and prevent overuse injuries from exercise and throughout training has led to the development of various methods to aid recovery and track readiness to perform. Ergogenic aids such as cold-water immersion, massage, and dynamic recovery procedures may have positive effects but the results of the related research remain equivocal. Furthermore, novel interventions in this scenario, like compression garments, ice vests, and photobiomodulation therapy are promising but need more evidence-based data to support their effectiveness. Similarly, to properly monitor individual physical conditioning, there is a growing interest toward unobtrusive measures to accurately represent physiological status during and/or after exercise. There are several techniques being used, such as subjective ratings of well-being, heart rate monitoring, hormonal and hematological profile assessments. However, more sensitive indexes like heart rate variability and muscle activation (voluntary and/or involuntary) are arising as attractive alternatives that may delineate physical conditioning status and readiness to perform more precisely than the aforementioned measures. The purpose of this Research Topic is to critically evaluate and summarize recent data from observational and intervention studies related to non-invasive methods designed to promote recovery and objectively monitor training status. Their association to physical performance and physiological recovery in athletes during training and competition is a major focus of this Topic.
