Athletes' benefits of whey protein

Whey proteins provide the athlete with a large number of benefits

Scientific research demonstrates that whey proteins provide the athlete with a large number of benefits such as muscle synthesis, muscle strength, performance, a more favorable body composition, and a stronger immunity. Also a fast recovery is crucial to top athletes. It is documented that whey protein supplementation accelerates recovery after intense resistant exercise, and that whey protein isolate supplementation compared with carbohydrate supplementation after exercise results in a significant faster rate of recovery.

Compared to other protein sources, whey protein isolate contains the highest content of  the branched chained amino acids that are highly important to athletes as they are directly metabolized by muscle tissue. See Table below:
