PREVENT DELAYED ONSET MUSCLE SORENESS

OMEGA OILS

“The omega 3 fats, EPA and DHA that make up fish oil supplements can make you stronger and leaner for optimal endurance and strength performance,” explains Sawi. “Studies have shown that when supplementing fish oil, benefits include better energy use and improved fat metabolism, improved transport of red blood cells through the muscle capillary bed for enhanced oxygen delivery to the muscles, less muscle pain and delayed onset muscles soreness, allowing for accelerated recovery from intense training.

“As well as supplementing the fish oil, try and aim to eat two to three portions of oily fish per week - always favour smaller fish sources such as mackerel and sardines as these will have lower levels of toxins.”
