Delicious protein bars are an excellent choice for anyone who wants to increase their protein intake and thereby accelerate the recovery of muscle mass and maintain or even increase their endurance. The protein bars from our brands only contain selected and highest quality ingredients, which makes them very nutritious and does not put a strain on digestion. High-quality protein bars contain at least 20 g of protein and 20 g of carbohydrates.
Carbohydrates
During prolonged training, glycogen stores are quickly depleted. If there is no need for rapid glycogen replenishment, a 24-hour high carbohydrate intake is generally sufficient to bring glycogen levels back to normal. In the first few hours after training, the focus of the recovery process is on quickly restoring glycogen stores. It is known that glycogen is stored most quickly in the period immediately after exercise.
In order for glucose to be stored as glycogen, there must be sufficient glucose available in the muscles and at the storage location in the muscle. This means that we have to pay attention to the right diet after exercise. Glycogen resynthesis occurs fastest in the first 30-60 minutes after exercise. This period is often referred to as the insulin-independent phase. This means that glycogen synthesis does not require the action of the hormone insulin, which is sometimes the primary stimulus for glycogen synthesis. This means that glucose uptake into the cell is highest immediately after exercise and then gradually decreases.
Protein
Protein plays an important role in the recovery process after training/competition. The synthesis of muscle proteins and the repair of damaged muscle fibers are key processes after training. In this way we will stimulate adaptation (adaptation) to training. Adaptation includes the creation of new proteins, for which we need building materials, i.e. protein and energy in the form of carbohydrates.
