The Science of Muscle Fatigue

 

As athletes of the sky, sporting birds rely on optimal muscle function for sustained power and speed in flight, as well as endurance. Muscles must contain adequate fuel for exercise and be adapted for efficient energy generation and be able to recover quickly.
STORM^® Avis boosts specific muscle fuel stores that support bursts of accelerated flight or an increase in speed.
Fighting muscle fatigue is also important if you want to optimise flight performance. When tired or fatigued, flight muscles will lose power, performance will be compromised and inevitably the speed of flight slows. Fatigue can be a consequence of muscle acidosis triggered by the build of H⁺ including from build up of lactic acid in flight muscles during exercise.
Carnosine is a small ‘protein like’ substance in muscle that helps to counteract muscle acidosis by attracting H⁺ ions, acting like a buffer or ‘biological sponge’. STORM^® Avis delivers an increase in muscle carnosine giving better management of muscle acidosis, allowing your birds to maintain speed and power for longer. ProCarnosine^®, a key active ingredient in STORM^® Avis has been conclusively shown to increase the level of carnosine in muscle in many species.
Muscle recovery and repair following intensive flying is essential to allow birds to ‘bounce back’ before the next race or competition. STORM^® Avis provides key nutrients to limit muscle soreness and to support fast recovery by promoting muscle protein synthesis.
STORM^® Avis tackles three crucial issues:

1. Muscle fuel
2. Muscle fatigue
3. Muscle recovery

STORM^® Avis promotes speed, power and endurance and supports recovery following training flights and competition.
