Ask a Cycling Coach Podcast - Presented by TrainerRoad
Role of BCAAs in Cycling Nutrition
The chapter explores the significance of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) in cycling nutrition, with a focus on muscle recovery and damage. It discusses how BCAAs like leucine can stimulate protein synthesis through mTOR activation during rest, emphasizing the importance of post-exercise protein intake and the potential benefits of pre-bed BCAA consumption. Skepticism is expressed about the effectiveness of BCAA-containing drinks and gels, and the need for further research on BCAAs' impact on reducing central fatigue.
