Benefit No.3 Of Hydrolyzed Proteins

Benefit 3 Of Hydrolyzed Proteins :

• Faster Recovery

A study published in the Journal of Science in Medicine and Sports found that subjects consuming whey hydrolysate post-workout experienced better recovery and performance shortly after a muscle-damaging bout of exercise than those consuming whey isolate.[2] Researchers had 28 subjects complete 100 eccentric-focused repetitions on the leg extension. An eccentric focus induces significantly more muscle damage than typical concentric movements.

Immediately following exercise, subjects consumed either 25 grams of whey hydrolysate, 25 grams of whey isolate, or a protein-free placebo. Recovery was assessed via blood markers, subjective ratings, and performance testing. Measures were completed 1, 2, 6, and 24 hours post-testing.

The whey-hydrolysate group was able to regain performance (measured as peak isometric torque) 6 hours later, whereas the placebo and whey isolate group had not yet fully recovered even 24 hours later. That's a serious difference!
