colostrum for a faster time!

December 1, 2009 blogs No Comments

Message posted by: Reg R. So I’m writing a paper on the benefits of breastfeeding and found this: • Colostrum is a protein-rich substance secreted in breast milk in the first few days after a mother has given birth. • Commercial colostrum supplements are typically produced from bovine (cow) sources. These supplements are intended for chronic use and are claimed to improve exercise performance and recovery, and possibly to have beneficial effects on body composition (increasing lean muscle tissue). However, one study has shown that a short-lived benefit may occur immediately after periods of intensified training due to a reduction in residual fatigue (Shing et al. 2006). A mechanism by which colostrum supplementation may benefit athletes remains speculative.

cycling – wattage

December 9, 2009

Message posted by: Jordan R. Despite completing 1/2 IM distance, I have only recently read about monitoring wattage. Can someone shed light for me on if this is the best way to ensure you pace properly (ie. vs. just following RPMs)? Is there a recommended equipment to use? Is following your watt output essential in your opinion for training? What is the most basic rule of thumb for watts (for example, with RPMs, one knows to maintain a high rate of at least 80+). Even just a link to a good article is appreciated! To view the rest of the post, please log-in to www.ontri.com
