Push High-Intensity Training Limits and Improve Athletic Performance
 
Exercise scientists are on the cusp of a new breakthrough in human performance that your athletes may be excited to learn about.  Cutting-edge research has identified a unique, fatigue-fighting amino acid that has the potential to expand the limits of an athlete’s ability to perform at high intensity when training and competing.  Christopher D. Jensen, PhD, MPH, RD, Nutrition & Epidemiology Researcher in California provides an in-depth look into the science behind the causes of fatigue and ways to combat it, how the body sustains high-intensity exercise, and the potential benefits of beta-alanine on high-intensity exercise performance.
