About Swimming
There are several different types of swimming sports, some of which are popular as competitive events, while others are more recreational. We can categories swimming based on energy metabolism and physiological involvement of different body systems. In swimming, like any other sports, work is done by musculoskeletal system and to support uninterrupted energy supply you need well-conditioned Cardio-vascular, respiratory and nervous system. Long muscles play import role in swimming that needs high energy like Latissimus Dorsi, Pectoralis Major, Deltoids, Quadriceps, Hamstrings, Glutes, Abdominals and Calves
We offer specific supplements based on physiological requirement and energy metabolism of swimming
Sprint Swimming: This type of swimming sport involves short distances (usually 50m or 100m) and relies heavily on the anaerobic energy system. Sprint swimming requires a lot of explosive power, speed, and strength, and relies on the muscles' ability to produce a high amount of force in a short period of time.
- RICH INSERTS Creatine: Creatine is a popular supplement for athletes, including swimmers. It helps to increase the amount of energy available for short bursts of high-intensity exercise, which is important for sprinting.
- RICH INSERTS STORMY helps to increase muscle endurance and reduce muscle fatigue. This can be beneficial for sprint swimmers who need to maintain a high level of performance for short periods of time. Arginine & citrulline, help to increase blood flow and improve oxygen delivery to muscles. This can help to improve endurance and reduce fatigue during high-intensity exercise. Caffeine is a stimulant that can help to increase energy, focus, and alertness. It can also help to reduce fatigue and improve endurance
- RICH INSERTS HYDRATE (Hydration with Electrolytes, BCAA, Glutamine): Sprint swimmers may lose a significant amount of fluids and electrolytes during training or competition. Supplementing with electrolytes can help to maintain proper hydration levels and prevent cramping.
Middle-Distance Swimming: This type of swimming sport involves distances between 200m and 400m and relies on a combination of the aerobic and anaerobic energy systems. Middle-distance swimming requires a balance of speed, power, and endurance, and places significant demands on the cardiovascular and respiratory systems.
- COMPLEX CARBS (Carbohydrates): Carbohydrates are the primary fuel source for endurance exercise. Aerobic energy system require a steady supply of carbohydrates to maintain energy levels during races and training. Consuming carbohydrates before and during exercise can help delay fatigue and improve performance
- RICH INSERTS CREATINE: Creatine is one of the most popular supplements for athletes who require explosive power. It can increase muscle strength, power, and endurance.
- RICH INSERTS STORMY Beta-alanine+ L-Citrulline + L-Arginine + Caffeine + Taurine: Beta-alanine can improve muscular endurance and delay fatigue during high-intensity exercise. Citrulline and arginine are nitric oxide precursor and beneficial for sprinters, can improve performance during high-intensity exercise like sprinting. Caffeine can improve performance by increasing focus, reducing fatigue, and enhancing endurance. Taurine may be beneficial because it has been shown to increase muscle contractility and improve muscle force production. Additionally, taurine can help reduce muscle damage and inflammation, which can be beneficial for sprinters who are putting a lot of stress on their muscles during high-intensity exercise.
- Protein: For training preparation and recovery you require more protein to build and repair muscles. Whey protein is a popular choice because it's quickly absorbed by the body. We have scientifically designed Proteins that suites requirement of your training and recovery.
- HYDRATE (Hydration formula with Electrolytes): Hydration & Electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, and magnesium are important for fluid balance, nerve function, and muscle contraction. When you lose electrolytes through sweat, and a lack of electrolytes replacement in your drink, it can cause dehydration, muscle cramps, and fatigue. Consuming HYDRATE before, during, and after exercise can help maintain fluid balance and prevent these issues.
- RICH INSERTS Omega-3: Double strength Omega-3 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory properties and can improve cardiovascular health, which can be beneficial for cyclist, who put a lot of stress on their bodies. Consuming omega-3s through diet or supplementation can help reduce inflammation and improve recovery.
- RICH INSERTS ESSENTIAL BCAA (BCAA+Glutamine+Citrulline+Arginine+Taurine+Caffiene combination)
The combination of BCAAs (branched-chain amino acids), glutamine, citrulline, arginine, taurine, and caffeine may have some benefits for cycling training and events. Here are some potential benefits of each ingredient:
BCAAs can help reduce muscle damage and fatigue during exercise. They are also essential amino acids that the body cannot produce on its own, so supplementing with BCAAs can ensure that the body has enough of these important building blocks for muscle tissue. Glutamine is an amino acid that can help reduce muscle soreness and improve recovery after exercise. It may also help boost the immune system, which can be helpful for athletes who are training hard and putting stress on their bodies. Citrulline and arginine are amino acids that can help improve blood flow and reduce fatigue during exercise. They are precursors to nitric oxide, which is a vasodilator that helps widen blood vessels and improve circulation. Taurine is an amino acid that may help improve endurance and reduce muscle damage during exercise. It may also help improve mental focus and reduce feelings of fatigue. Caffeine is a stimulant that can help improve mental alertness, focus, and physical performance. It can also help reduce feelings of fatigue and improve endurance.
All the above supplements from RICH INSERTS are highly beneficial for training and events of other swimming events such as
- Long-Distance Swimming: This type of swimming sport involves distances over 400m and relies primarily on the aerobic energy system. Long-distance swimming requires a high level of endurance, as the body must maintain a steady pace over an extended period of time. This type of swimming places significant demands on the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, as well as the muscles' ability to use oxygen efficiently.
- Open Water Swimming: This type of swimming sport takes place in natural bodies of water, such as lakes, rivers, and oceans. It involves swimming over long distances and requires a high level of endurance and the ability to navigate through changing conditions such as currents, waves, and tides.
- As the swimmer moves through the water, the muscles require a steady supply of oxygen to maintain the required energy output. This requires a well-developed cardiovascular system, including the heart, lungs, and blood vessels.
