Nutrition
As one of sport's most physically gruelling disciplines, nutrition plays a huge part in cycling success at all levels, from fighting fatigue to supporting recovery. The intensity and effort required in cycling demands a nutritional programme that provides energy, power and stamina to succeed.
Our selection of Energy & Endurance supplements were specifically designed for cyclists and anyone undertaking regular endurance exercise.
BEFORE
Carbohydrates are essential to fuel both long and short distance cycling by keeping muscle-glycogen concentrations high. When concentrations are low, performance will be negatively affected. It has been shown that insufficient amounts of carbohydrates can also affect an athlete's co-ordination as the Central Nervous System becomes fatigued.
DURING
Whether you're a competitive cyclist or you simply ride for fun, it is vital to ensure you have sufficient glycogen stores and hydration levels to maximise your performance. The combination of carbohydrates and electrolytes found in our intra-training drinks, make Myprotein the perfect option to help keep your energy levels up until you hit the finish line.
AFTER
Due to the high work rates in both distance and sprint cycling, it is advisable to consume high amounts of protein and carbohydrates upon completing a session.
