8 Myths about Energy and Sports Nutrition


The extra protein, through consumption of meat or amino acid supplements will strengthen my muscles.Only through sports can gain muscle strength and volume. Eating more protein in the diet or taking supplements will not help unless accompanied by exercise.

The amino acid supplements such as arginine, carnitine and ornithine, cannot increase the volume of muscles or muscle strength. Endurance athletes need daily 1.2-1.4 gr of protein per kilogram of body weight, and strength athletes need daily 1.6-1.7 gr of protein per kilogram of body weight and are under the guidance of sports dietitian to receive this amount through diet. Receiving a larger amount of protein does not help. Only adds calories and fat in the body.

Consume creatine to build muscle mass.Creatine is an amino acid produced in the liver from other amino acids. However, the role of creatine in muscle development has not yet been clarified. Studies on the effectiveness of creatine as a nutritional supplement are in progress.

The bee pollen gives me energy.
The bee pollen can improve physical performance. This is a unique blend of bee saliva, pollen and nectar from plants. In reality, however, contain nutrients found in our daily diet: starch, sugars, protein and little fat.

Spirulina is high-energy food, suitable for people who play sports.
Although this characteristic of spirulina is the most advertised, in fact, spirulina has the ability to produce energy. It provides, certainly some important nutrients, including vitaminB12, which, however, is not in a form that allows it to be assimilated by the body.

If I’m well trained, you need not worry much about replenishing fluids lose during exercise.
The workout will not protect you from dehydration! Each other. A well-trained athlete sweat more during the race, as the body tries to cool the body effectively. Drinking plenty of fluids before, during and after the game is an inviolable rule for the trained and not.
In endurance events lasting more than an hour, choosing a sports drink is advisable. This is because immediate help replenish fluids, since the content of carbohydrates and minerals makes it a good source of energy but also an ideal choice for the replenishment of electrolytes, discharged from the body during exercise.

After an intensive workout I need extra vitamins.The sweating that occurs in intensive workout does not involve loss of vitamins. The few vitamins above the athlete may need to produce energy can come from the increased amount of food you should employ to meet the increased energy needs.
Vitamin supplements can give you energy for tough workouts.Vitamins do not provide energy. Energy sources are carbohydrates, fats and proteins. If you get enough of these ingredients, you do not need supplements. The vitamins the body needs for energy during exercise recruited also through diet.
A chocolate is the fastest way to get energy.Eating a chocolate or a sweetened drink you are not going to “recharge.” A diet rich in carbohydrates for a few days, is the best way to boost your energy reserves before an intense workout. For endurance events lasting more than 90 minutes, a juice diluted with water or an energy drink before or during exercise can enhance endurance.
