Recently, running has increased in popularity. Thousands of Canadians regularly run each year, whether it is socially, for weightx000D
loss, healthy lifestyle, or competition. Running benefits heart and mental health and can help in maintaining a healthy weight.x000D
However, long-term running, especially distance running, can take a toll on the body causing immune system suppression,x000D
excessive muscle soreness and nutrient depletion. Even many social runners will have nutritional needs above and beyondx000D
sedentary individuals, making it difficult to obtain these nutrients through whole foods alone. The importance of supplementation inx000D
runners is becoming increasingly clear. Simultaneously, the fitness supplement industry is rapidly expanding. An area of significantx000D
growth is that of amino acid supplementation to enhance performance and recovery. Interestingly, amino acid supplementationx000D
currently focuses on only a few amino acids and many supplements are marketed for use across various sports, despite significantx000D
differences in the metabolic requirements of these sports. Furthermore, most fitness supplements are designed and tested in elitex000D
athletes, despite being marketed to the masses. It has been well documented that various supplements proven effective in an elitex000D
athlete have little benefit for an intermediate competitor. Staterra is working to develop a cutting edge supplement specificallyx000D
tailored to the needs of intermediate distance runners based on their amino acid kinetic profile. By determining the kinetic profile ofx000D
amino acids during a long-distance run as well as the immediate recovery period, we believe we can develop an amino acidx000D
supplement to support performance and recovery of everyday runners.
