Webinar: Targeted Nutrition in Exercise or After Injury

Join Abbott, Real Madrid experts for a conversation on the benefits of proper nutrition in human performance.

In grade school, children are taught the Three R's — readin', writin' and 'rithmetic — and it's a good thing they don't stop their education there, considering two of the three don't actually start with an "r."

And from that spirit of always learning and growing come Ricardo J.S. Costa's Five R’s on the roll optimized nutrition can play in the body's ability to recover.

He'll share them — and more — during a webinar titled "Role of targeted nutrition in improving outcomes with exercise or following injury" presented on Thursday, May 12 at 1 p.m.-2:15 p.m. Central Europe Time (6 a.m.-7:15 a.m. Chicago time) and re-broadcast later that day at 7 p.m. CET (12 p.m. Chicago time).

Costa will be joined by five additional panelists. In full, the webinar will include:

Please join them for a revealing conversation about the sometimes hidden benefits of proper nutrition in human performance, including HMB — a metabolite of the amino acid leucine — which has been shown to protect muscle protein while also helping build muscle mass with exercise.1 Cramer will share research in athletes that demonstrates HMB supplementation can help speed up recovery from exercise and lower muscle protein breakdown with resistance training.2 It's the kind of edge every athlete wants.

And lest you think we forgot, Costa's Five R's:

  • Regulate
  • Restore
  • Rehydrate
  • Refuel
  • Repair

But that's just a taste. Make your way to the webinar for the full menu of discussion to learn more.
