Pre-competitive period

The purpose of pre-competitive period is to involve to competitive regime.

This period is marked by a significant reduction in the number of pharmacological agents used. It is recommended to reduce the intake of multivitamins to 1-2 tablets a day (as much as possible better to change the used complex). To prevent the fall of muscle mass and for the purpose of regulating the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats is expedient appointment of Adaptogens that have an anabolic effect (Leuzea). From individual vitamins it is recommended vitamin E.

At the beginning of precompetitive period can be recommend: Mildronate, Elcar, Succinic Acid, Sodium Succinate, Phenotropil and others. The dosage should not exceed half a dose of the reference period. For 5-7 days before the competition, these drugs should be abolished.

In the second half of the precompetitive period (8-10 days before the start) we recommend taking adaptogens and energy-rich products: Đhosphaden, Phospho-creatine, Neoton etc. If adaptogens help to accelerate the processes of adaptation to changing physical activity and environmental conditions, as well as speeding up the recovery process. The high power products allow you to create an "energy depot ', promote the synthesis of ATP and improving the contractility of the heart muscle and skeletal muscles.

The focus of the diet in this period of preparation predominantly carbohydrate, the most expedient consumption of fructose. American doctors recommend the following method of carbohydrate saturation: 10-12 days before the start of beginning to reduce the intake of carbohydrates and 5 th day adjusted their consumption to a minimum, and then gradually increase the amount of carbohydrates consumed up to a maximum in the day of go-off.
