What amino acids are useful for athletes
Amino acids are components of protein, and protein is the building material for muscle tissue. Some of them can be produced by the body, some can only come from outside.
Instructions
1
Amino acids are usually taken by athletesin isolation, in the form of a sports supplement. This helps to accelerate muscle growth and restore the body after training, as well as increase endurance.
2
In total there are 20amino acids, 9 of them are not produced in it. Key to athletes are the BCAA amino acids that have a branched chain. These include isoleucine, leucine and valine.
3
Amino acids of the BCAA group protect the muscles fromdestruction and contribute to reducing the percentage of fat tissue in the body. Isoleucine activates muscle growth, with its deficiency, muscle tissue begins to deteriorate.
4
Isoleucine plays an important role in the process of obtaining energy from glycogen in muscles, because its deficiency is manifested by hypoglycemia. A person experiences lethargy, drowsiness, and a decrease in appetite.
5
Leucine helps to strengthen immunity, lower blood sugar. Promotes rapid healing of wounds, prevents overstrain.
6
Valine has a positive effect onthe state of the nervous system, it protects the myelin sheath of nerve cells. It is the source of energy for muscle cells, like the rest of the BCAA amino acids. Reduces the sensitivity of the body to pain and temperature, prevents the reduction of serotonin.
7
Among other important amino acids can belysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, arginine. Lysine is involved in muscle growth and promotes active synthesis of carnitine. Carnitine - a substance that triggers the fat burning process.
8
Lysine is involved in the production of collagen, improves the absorption of calcium. All this contributes to the strengthening of the musculoskeletal system.
9
Methionine prevents the deposition of fat in the liver, promotes rapid recovery. It is involved in the removal of heavy metals from the body, protects the kidneys.
10
Phenylalanine accelerates the production of protein, controls the rate of metabolism. It is used by the body to produce a number of important hormones, and also suppresses the appetite.
11
Threonine supports the work of the immune system onat the proper level, without this amino acid the body will be subject to overwork. Important for metabolism and digestion processes, helps to eliminate by-products of protein synthesis.
12
Arginine also helps to restore the body, and also helps to reduce cholesterol in the blood.
