New step nutrition proposed by Stéphane Pensoand an dietary supplement which has an impact on the health of sedentary people and which improves the performance of athletes, including padel are part of: the Spirulina.
Spirulina is a very complete food with multiple benefits for health as well as for the practice of sport. Many sportsmen, professionals or amateurs, consume it regularly. Why ? Because the benefits of spirulina on performance and recovery in athletes are increasingly recognized.
It exists 5 large interactions to know between spirulina and sport, interactions between its virtues and the physiology of sport. Let's discover them together.
By consuming spirulina, you will improve your performance and your recovery after exercise, mainly thanks to 3 phenomena:
The concomitant absorption of trace elements, macro-elements and enzymes naturally contained in spirulina contributes to:
These 3 phenomena are mainly explained by the content of spirulina in:
The molecular structure of phycocyanin (one of the most remarkable pigments specific to spirulina) has a structure almost similar to erythropoietin (EPO), the heart of human blood hemoglobin.
EPO derivatives are often used as dopants, except that with the phycocyanin of spirulina, it is a perfectly natural physiological process that allows the body to maintain sufficient oxygen reserves within the globule. red and to offer it a more comfortable operation even in situations of intense effort.
Phycocyanin is also a potent natural anti-inflammatory drug, including potent anti-cox2, that is, inhibiting enzymes responsible for the pain sensation associated with inflammation.
Spirulina will allow you to quickly gain muscle mass and "dry out". It will promote lean mass gain by 4 key elements:
The important contribution of quality proteins will allow the manufacture and repair of muscles and tendons. The concentration of so-called amino acids trendy ou branched is beneficial to muscle building and maintenance of lean mass. Indeed, branched amino acids (BCAAs) are the first to be degraded during muscular effort.
The practice of sport creates deficiencies in athletes, deficiencies which must be filled in particular by taking spirulina. Spirulina provides:
It is interesting to know that spirulina provides, in principle, all the nutrients essential for human health except vitamin C, omega-3 and iodine. To fill these gaps, have recourse to a balanced diet, rich in fresh fruits and vegetables, vegetable oils and / or fatty fish. Otherwise, do not hesitate to use food supplements.
Spirulina protects athletes from injuries in many cases. This is explained by its very complete nutritional contribution, including antioxidants. Also this is explained by 2 effects due to 2 very precious elements of spirulina, already seen above:
Spirulina is highly assimilable. This is due to its very simple form of a single-celled microalgae. It is a very interesting asset for the athlete who can consume it before, during and / or after the effort. She brings at any time:
In a nutshell, spirulina is a super-supplement that helps:
