Adding a little Protein to a Carb Drink is
beneficial during a workout.
Protein may be just as important to long-term
endurance as carbs. In a trial of 15 cyclists,
researchers at
James Madison University found that men who
sipped a drink with a 4:1 ratio of carbs to
protein were able to pedal 29% longer, on
average, than men drinking carbs alone. "Protein
helps to prevent the depletion of stored carbs
within muscle fiber, allowing you to work out
longer," says
Mike Saunders, Ph.D., the study's author.
A growing
body of evidence supports the addition of
protein to carbohydrate-electrolyte sports
beverages used during endurance exercise as well
as for recovery. Dr. Saunders says, "The
proposed benefits of CHO+Pro beverages include
increased endurance performance, enhanced
rehydration, attenuations in markers of muscle
damage and improvements in subsequent muscle
function."
