The Adelaide Football Club is delighted to welcome on board Body Science as the Official Supplements Partner and Corporate Supporter of the club.
Body Science products, in particular the protein powders and bars, have formed a key component of the players’ overall nutrition plan. The usage of these products has been plentiful over the pre-season program to match the rigours of a high training load. The players not only appreciate their performance value, but the palatability of the products has ensured consistency of use.
As indicated above, the protein powders and bars have been the most utilised of the vast range of Body Science products throughout the course of pre-season with Nitrovol protein powder being the biggest winner. The science behind the use of these products greatly assists our footballers to maximise their recovery post training sessions and weights. Additionally, the strategic use of certain Body Science products can also assist players requiring an increasing in muscle mass and strength. With the goal of maximising performance on the field, the Body Science protein powders and bars can assist the muscle repair process to reduce soreness and maximise energy levels going into the next training session or game. For players requiring that extra 1-2kg of lean muscle mass the use of these products in combination with their weight training program can improve their strength and power and therefore enabling them to hold onto or shrug tackles and improve their quickness around the ground.
The product range and nutritional composition enable the dietician to individualise their usage based on the player’s nutritional and performance goals, whilst still providing the player with flexibility on the products they enjoy using - what tastes good is essential too. Often after an intense training session or match it is not unusual for a player to not feel like eating food straight away. This is where a Body Science protein shake is often much easier to consume to start that recovery process.
With the season fast approaching we will soon get to see the benefits of a long hard pre-season in which the use of Body Science products is another one of those ‘one percenters’ that have helped the boys along the way!
