FA Vitarade is here! - 14 Feb 2012

FA Vitarade has landed

Carboloader Vitarade Gel fueled by Vitargo has been designed for all athletes and people who take part in highly physical activity, and who wish to optimally prepare your body for upcoming exercise. During preparations for heavy training sessions, sporting events, whether the team competition one of the most important tasks is to gather the maximum amount of muscle and liver glycogen. Muscle glycogen and liver constitutes the main source of energy during subsequent exercise. This means that any athlete or physically active person to professionally prepare for the upcoming effort should provide an increased amount of carbohydrates. Through increased consumption of carbohydrate products can effectively build up glycogen stores. Currently on the market there are different types of carbohydrates, which in varying degrees, affect the rate of gastric emptying and the rate of muscle glycogen resynthesis.

Vitarade endurance bars are a concentrated with nutrients that allow a small volume by up to provide large amounts of carbohydrates and proteins. Energy bars by providing a number of important physiologically active substances fill the stomach, reducing hunger. To meet the needs of professional athletes and all physically active people VITARADE fueled by Vitargo Endurance Bar provides all the nutrients necessary to meet the needs of the body even during the most intense physical exertion. VITARADE fueled by Vitargo Endurance Bar fill the stomach preventing the development of feelings of hunger, thereby allowing up to concentrate on the exercise. In addition, fueled by VITARADE Vitargo Endurance Bar contains a very high quality protein and carbohydrates, thus increasing the rate of consumption of chocolate bars after workouts the body's regeneration. Why VITARADE fueled by Vitargo Endurance Bar? VITARADE fueled by Vitargo Endurance Bar has been specially created for all active people, seeking an efficient and optimally composed Bathonian energy as an alternative source of carbohydrates and proteins

Vitarade EL fueled by Vitargo was designed for elite athletes to provide them easily assimilated energy source stored in the body as the muscle glycogen. Vitarade EL fueled by Vitargo contains patented high molecular mass carbohydrates, that have a similar structure to glycogen

The greatest advantage of high molecular mass carbohydrates contained in Vitarade EL fueled by Vitargo is their low osmolality in comparison to other forms of carbohydrates, such as glucose, fructose, sacharose or maltodextrin, commonly used in other carbohydrate supplements. Osmolality is connected to the presence of osmotically active substances influencing fluid and nutrients transport from or to the tissue. Moreover, osmolality influences gastric emptying rate. The higher concentration of single molecules of osmotically active substances (electrolites, glucose, maltodextrins etc.), the higher osmolality. Solutions of high osmolality slow down fluid and nutrients digestion from intestines, and lower the gastric emptying rate as well. Vitarade EL fueled by Vitargo provides high molecular mass carbohydrates, so the number of molecules in solution is low, therefore solution osmolality is low. Moreover, low osmolality of Vitarade® EL fueled by Vitargo increases fluids transport from intestines to working tissues securing the proper hydration of the body.

Fitness Authority Vitarade CL fueled by Vitargo is the perfect supplement for any demanding athlete. Vitarade contains the most exclusive blend of carbohydrate Vitargo, which was created for the leading high-performance athletes in order to ensure that they could easily absorb the most effective available energy accumulated in the form of muscle glycogen. Vitarade CL fueled by Vitargo contains a patented macromolecular carbohydrates that their structures resemble glycogen molecule.

The advantage and the advantage of high molecular weight carbohydrate Vitargo is that Vitarade CL fueled by Vitargo is characterized by a low-osmolality as compared to other forms of carbohydrates such as glucose, fructose, sucrose or maltodextrin, commonly found in other products of carbohydrate. Osmolality is associated with the presence in solution of osmotically active substances such as conditioning transportation of fluids and nutrients to and from the tissues, or the speed of gastric emptying. The higher the content of individual particles of osmotically active substances in solution (electrolytes, glucose, maltodextrin, etc.), the higher its osmolality. Solutions of high osmolality inhibit the absorption of fluids and nutrients from the intestinal lumen, as well as reduce the rate of gastric emptying. Vitarade CL fueled by carbohydrate Vitargo provides a high molecular weight, so the number of individual particles in solution is low, which significantly reduces the osmolality of the solution. Furthermore, the low osmolality Vitarade CL fueled by Vitargo also increases the transport of fluids from the intestinal lumen to secure the proper working of tissue hydration.

Offer of the Day - 5% off all Recovery Formulas - 20 Oct 2011

5% off all Recovery formulas for one day only

After an intense run,your body is severely depleted. This is because most of your nutrients have beenused up in order to complete the hard training session. Your low on fuel(carbohydrates), your low on muscle repairing material (protein), your low onprotection (vitamins, minerals, and anti oxidants), and your low on water(hydration).After your session, thebody is starting the repair and growth process of muscle tissue. It desperatelyneeds nutrients in order to start the recovery process.

Our top selling recovery formula...

USN Recover Xcell 2kg RRP £39.99
Our Price £27.99

The 30 - 45 minute window after training or events is a crucial time during which the body races to recover as quickly as possible. The body's evolutionary instinct to immediately replace muscle glycogen (our first and main source of energy) means that it will use whatever nutrients are available, including amino acids present in muscle tissue, resulting in muscle wastage.

Strength Training for Distance Running - 28 Sep 2011

Strength Training for Distance Running

by Brendan Chaplin MSc CSCS ASCC

At first it might appear as though training with heavy weights and distance running are worlds apart. Why would the distance runner need to get weight on the bar and bust their gut in the gym when they could be out pounding the roads and getting more miles in?

But it’s actually in this very question that the problem lies. It’s this constant pounding that the body takes that can lead to injuries and stagnate performance levels.

Clearly there needs to be a certain volume of work completed which will be different for every individual and for each event that is being trained for, however unnecessary volume can at best be wasted time and at worst lead to overtraining and/or injury.

This time could be better spent strengthening the body and recovering.

What do the best do?

At the highest level, distance runners embrace strength training and are seen to be engaging in strength and conditioning programmes that they feel are a key area to their success.

Here is a comment from Bernard Lagat after being beaten by Mo Farah in the Monaco 5000m:

“To be able to beat Mo Farah I need to put my training up a notch," Lagat said. "I am happy with my speed. The only thing I need to work on is the strength. I can see that Mo Farah is a guy that is very strong. He is like a racing horse. What I need to do are the things that will get me even with him.”
