Establishing the amino acids kinetic pattern of endurance runners

最近，跑步越来越受欢迎。每年有成千上万的加拿大人定期跑步，无论是社交，减肥，健康的生活方式还是竞争。跑步有益于心脏和心理健康，有助于保持健康的体重。然而，长期跑步，特别是长跑，会对身体造成损害，导致免疫系统抑制，肌肉过度酸痛和营养耗尽。甚至许多社会跑步者的营养需求也会超过久坐不动的人，因此很难单独通过天然食物获得这些营养。补充剂的重要性越来越明显。与此同时，健身补充剂行业正在迅速扩大。一个显著增长的领域是氨基酸补充剂，以提高性能和恢复。有趣的是，氨基酸补充剂目前只集中在少数几种氨基酸上，许多补充剂被销售用于各种运动，尽管这些运动的代谢要求存在显着差异。此外，大多数健身补充剂的设计和测试的精英运动员，尽管被推销给群众。它已被充分证明，各种补充剂证明有效的精英运动员没有什么好处的中级竞争对手。Staterra正致力于开发一种尖端的补充剂，专门针对中长跑运动员的需求，基于他们的氨基酸动力学特征。通过测定长跑和即刻恢复期间氨基酸的动力学曲线，我们相信我们可以开发一种氨基酸补充剂来支持日常跑步者的表现和恢复。

Recently, running has increased in popularity. Thousands of Canadians regularly run each year, whether it is socially, for weightloss, healthy lifestyle, or competition. Running benefits heart and mental health and can help in maintaining a healthy weight.However, long-term running, especially distance running, can take a toll on the body causing immune system suppression,excessive muscle soreness and nutrient depletion. Even many social runners will have nutritional needs above and beyondsedentary individuals, making it difficult to obtain these nutrients through whole foods alone. The importance of supplementation inrunners is becoming increasingly clear. Simultaneously, the fitness supplement industry is rapidly expanding. An area of significantgrowth is that of amino acid supplementation to enhance performance and recovery. Interestingly, amino acid supplementationcurrently focuses on only a few amino acids and many supplements are marketed for use across various sports, despite significantdifferences in the metabolic requirements of these sports. Furthermore, most fitness supplements are designed and tested in eliteathletes, despite being marketed to the masses. It has been well documented that various supplements proven effective in an eliteathlete have little benefit for an intermediate competitor. Staterra is working to develop a cutting edge supplement specificallytailored to the needs of intermediate distance runners based on their amino acid kinetic profile. By determining the kinetic profile ofamino acids during a long-distance run as well as the immediate recovery period, we believe we can develop an amino acidsupplement to support performance and recovery of everyday runners.
