Decrease Mental Fatigue!
One of the challenges in controlling focus during intense training and physical exercise is mental fatigue. Whereas most athletes worry about and take corrective action to ward against muscle fatigue, mental fatigue must be thwarted as well. In fact, recent research has placed increasing emphasis on mental fatigue during exercise. This mental fatigue is commonly referred to as central fatigue because of the involvement of the central nervous system. While central fatigue does not affect muscles, it can reduce the capacity to perform at its best.There is a distinct relation between the amino acid tryptophan in the brain and the degree of mental fatigue. Upon entry into the brain, tryptophan has the ability to "slow down" the central nervous system, causing sleep and drowsiness. Normally, there are reliable amounts of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) circulating in the bloodstream to maintain the delivery of tryptophan into the brain. During long-term and sustained exercise, however, muscles use huge amounts of amino acids as a source for energy. The body prefers to use BCAAs for energy, since they constantly replace glucose in the energy production pathways. As muscles begin to use BCAAs, the amounts of these amino acids drop, which allows tryptophan to enter the brain, inducing fatigue and sleepiness. Research shows that supplementation with branched-chain amino acids can prevent central fatigue by tightly regulating the influx of tryptophan to the brain. Supplementation before and during exercise has been proven to increase performance.
Branched-chain amino acids include leucine, isoleucine and also valine. These amino acids are needed for the maintaining of muscle tissue during physical stress and intense exercise. From the perspective of athletes, BCAAs function as anabolic agents and induce sparing, which allows the body to burn fat instead of muscle.
