There is a misconception that recovery is managed after you perform
Wrong. You can manage your recovery during your performance with Totum Sport.
Dehydration causes the blood to thicken as body temperature and heart rate increase. The heart therefore has to work harder to deliver oxygen to other organs so exercise feels tougher than usual, causing fatigue. Taking Totum Sport before and during exercise ensures you are fully hydrated and that you maintain complete hydration during performance. You naturally lose electrolytes through sweat, breath and metabolism, therefore taking Totum Sport before you play a match, ensures that you are starting at 100%.
During exercise, blood glucose levels drop and glycogen stores are depleted, adversely affecting the immune system. The electrolytes in Totum Sport enhance glucose supply to the muscles and brain, aiding performance and also recovery.
Cognitive aspects during performance can impact the athlete as severely as the physical aspects. Mental fatigue alters cognitive function and contributes to post exercise fatigue. Hydration plays an important role in cognitive function, as even slight dehydration is shown to make everyday tasks more difficult.
Muscle fatigue occurs when recovery is not maximised. Totum Sport contains specific electrolytes which act as catalysts, enhancing the uptake of other nutrients from food including vitamins, carbohydrates and protein. This speeds up the recovery process, supporting tissue and muscle repair. Having a preventative strategy by taking a sachet of Totum Sport before training starts the recovery process and reduces the risk of muscle cramp and resultant injury. This is the most successful way to fight them off before they set in.
