How does nutrition affect recovery after competition?
Nutrition plays a crucial role in recovery after competition by replenishing energy stores, repairing damaged tissues, and reducing inflammation. After intense physical exertion, glycogen stores in muscles are depleted, making carbohydrate intake essential for restoring energy levels. Consuming protein aids muscle repair and growth by providing the amino acids necessary for rebuilding muscle fibers. Proper hydration replenishes fluids and electrolytes lost through sweat, preventing dehydration and muscle cramps. A well-planned recovery-focused diet helps athletes recover faster, reduces injury risks, and ensures they are prepared for their next training session or competition.
Do I need to follow strict diets to see results?
Not at all. At Martel Performance, we focus on sustainable nutrition strategies that fit your lifestyle while supporting your performance goals. Our plans emphasise balance over restriction. By using chefs to design the meals it allows us to deliver meals that are manageable for the day-to-day diet.
Can I get support with special dietary requirements?
Absolutely. Our team is experienced in creating plans that cater to various dietary requirements, ensuring you receive optimal nutrition without compromising your personal preferences or needs.
