Weightlifters consume water after their final lift in a competition. Water is used in recovery to
help an athlete return to pre-exercise levels.
refuel an athlete with carbohydrates to return this nutrient to pre-exercise levels.
refuel an athlete with protein and fats to return these nutrients to pre-exercise levels.
refuel an athlete with protein and carbohydrates to return these nutrients to pre-exercise levels.
