Success as an athlete requires discipline, hours of training, and focus. Most training programs are designed to gradually increase duration and intensity of workouts with the theory that ability will improve in a similarly linear fashion. Peak performance in any sport can only be achieved when training has been efficient and proper nutrients and body function are maintained. What many athletes overlook is that nutritional balance to fuel workouts and build muscle, prevention of oxidative stress that damages cells, and appropriate supplementation to replace the micronutrients expended are the true keys to maximizing athletic performance.
Many athletes fail to eat anything before an intense workout for fear of stomach distress, but without the proper nutrients, muscles fail to perform. Pushing your body beyond it’s limits can result in injury and lost training time. Some athletes (especially those in endurance sports) place so much stress on their bodies that they become more susceptible to chronic illness. Oxidative stress can lead to cellular damage and inflammation becomes a risk factor for cardiac arrest.
