sports supplements

Supplements are often overrated and overused.

However, some supplements are proven to be beneficial. The important thing is choosing the right supplement, used correctly, and for the right reasons.

When it comes to building muscle and recovering your muscles, real food is key. Supplements, however, can be the cherry on top of the sundae when all other things are working like clockwork. 

In this episode, I break down 5 supplements that may be able to help you level up your muscle-building potential and aid in some sweet recovery.

In this episode of Run with Fitpage, we have celebrated sports performance expert, Dr. David Bailey. Vikas and Dr. David talk about various aspects of training, hypoxic training, and a lot more.

Holding a Doctor of Philosophy degree from Loughborough University, Dr. Bailey’s research, delved into the impact of sports supplements on exercise recovery and training adaptation. With a Master of Science in Exercise Physiology and a Bachelor of Science in Applied Sports Science, both from esteemed institutions, Dr. Bailey boasts a remarkable educational background. With over two decades of experience in elite sports as a coach, sports scientist, performance manager, and nutritionist, Dr. David Bailey brings a wealth of expertise to the table. For the past decade, he has served as the Head of Performance at the Israel Premier Tech professional cycling team, leading multidisciplinary sports science teams to enhance athletic performance at the highest level. Dr. Bailey is also an esteemed advisor to sports nutrition and technology companies, contributing as a key opinion leader to global sports science consensus statements.

Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) are a popular sports supplement with bodybuilders and athletes. But you don’t need to look for them in a bottle as our diet naturally contains them as part of the amino acid building blocks of protein. With claims of increased muscle protein synthesis, decreased muscle protein breakdown, enhanced endurance and less muscle soreness, they seem to be an essential supplement that no athlete can do without. In this episode, I’ll look at those claims and explore the evidence. TL;DR – save your money on BCAA supplements and just eat a variety of high-protein foods which is what athletes pretty much do already.

Nitrates are inorganic compounds found in many vegetables such as spinach, celery, radishes, and lettuce, but beetroot is one of the highest sources. Nitrate contributes to the production of nitric oxide, which has an important role to play in immune function as well as regulating the tone of blood vessels which impacts blood pressure. In this podcast, I look at the evidence for using nitrate-rich beetroot juice to treat high blood pressure as well as its role as a supplement to improve athletic performance.

Is baking soda the next big thing in sports performance supplementation?
Does soda bicarb actually work as a performance enhancer?

In this episode, I deep dive into soda bicarb as a sports performance supplement and breakdown what you need to know and what the evidence says. 

The belief is that soda bicarb (or baking soda), can help improve performance for athletes undergoing high intensive training. For this reason, more and more active people are trying out bicarb to try help them elevate their potential.

Think athletic people are immune from cardiac issues because they work out all the time? Think again.

Athletes are subject to the same conditions that affect us all. When it comes to taking care of their hearts, however, they have very specialized needs.

That's where the field of Sports Cardiology comes into play.  Eli Friedman, M.D., Director of Sports Cardiology at the Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute joins host and fellow cardiologist, Jonathan Fialkow, M.D., to talk about what makes athletes a different breed when it comes to heart health.

Get the facts athletes need to know about symptoms, supplements, sleep and getting back into training after COVID-19.

The sports supplement market is big business, but the reality is that most of these supplements have little evidence for a benefit. It is not all negative news though because there is a small group of supplements that are backed by science and which can play a performance-enhancing role in some athletes. In this series on sports supplements, I will profile this group of supplements and for this podcast, the spotlight is on beta-alanine.

The sports supplement market is big business. And it is no wonder that athletes gravitate to the pills, powders and potions on the market for the promises they make of enhancing training and race day performance and allowing them to get the jump on their competitors.

It is not all negative news though as there is a small group of supplements that are backed by science and which can play a performance-enhancing role in some athletes.
