When practicing a sporting activity, it's important to be aware of the quality of our diet, and in particular of what we call the "macronutrients", which are mainly lipids, carbohydrates and proteins. Today, we'd like to draw your attention to proteins and the role they play in sports. When consumed on a daily basis, they can improve your sporting performance, help you build muscle mass and enhance recovery. DECATHLON presents its range of protein powders. They can be animal proteins, vegetable proteins or even vegan, depending on your diet. You'll find a variety of proteins to suit different objectives. For example, if you're an athlete looking to build muscle, you'll want to choose a hydrolysed whey. With the same objective and a higher caloric requirement, you could also opt for a mass gainer.

The importance of protein for athletes

To maximize your sporting performance, it's important to choose the foods you eat before, during and after training. Whether you're involved in strength training or endurance events, protein plays an essential role in your success, which is why it's vital to include it in your daily diet.

A lack of protein can have various consequences on the body, including disruption of the hormonal system, poor digestion, greater vulnerability to infection and weakening of the body's structure.

While for a sedentary person, protein requirements are estimated at 0.8 grams per kilo of body weight, this figure can rise to 1.6 or even 2.2 grams per kilo for athletes looking to build muscle.

When should I take protein?

In order to reap the full benefits of protein on a daily basis, the question arises as to the best time to consume it. Depending on your objectives, it may be appropriate to adapt the time of day.

  • Bodybuilding: After exercise, protein intake is crucial for muscle growth and recovery.

How can you incorporate protein into your daily routine?

Proteins are found in a wide range of foods that we can include in our meals: chickpeas, soya, eggs, cereals, seeds, dairy products, meats... We would like to point out that it is perfectly possible to adopt a protein-rich diet, even if you don't eat meat.
