Sažetak
Recovery from exercise is an important factor in the performance. During competition, where athletes may compete numerous times over a few days, enhancing recovery may provide a competitive strategy. Nutrition significantly influences sports recovery ; however, the efficacy of any nutritional supplement should be carefully consider ed in relation to the event on the one hand, and the sex, training and nutritional status of the athletes on the other. In addition to the replenishment of muscle glycogen, there are other major objective s of post competition recovery that have been examined in scientific literature and applied in the field. These include restoration of body fluid balance, improved performance (or training stimulus ) in subsequent exercise tasks, increased protein synthesis, attenuated protein degradation, and attenuated muscle damage/muscle soreness. However, each new recovery strategy should be practised in training before it is used in competition.
