Thousands of Canadians regularly run each year, whether it is socially, for weight_x000D_
loss, healthy lifestyle, or competition. Running benefits heart and mental health and can help in maintaining a healthy weight._x000D_
However, long-term running, especially distance running, can take a toll on the body causing immune system suppression,_x000D_
excessive muscle soreness and nutrient depletion. Even many social runners will have nutritional needs above and beyond_x000D_
sedentary individuals, making it difficult to obtain these nutrients through whole foods alone. The importance of supplementation in_x000D_
runners is becoming increasingly clear. Simultaneously, the fitness supplement industry is rapidly expanding. An area of significant_x000D_
growth is that of amino acid supplementation to enhance performance and recovery. Interestingly, amino acid supplementation_x000D_
currently focuses on only a few amino acids and many supplements are marketed for use across various sports, despite significant_x000D_
differences in the metabolic requirements of these sports. Furthermore, most fitness supplements are designed and tested in elite_x000D_
athletes, despite being marketed to the masses. It has been well documented that various supplements proven effective in an elite_x000D_
athlete have little benefit for an intermediate competitor. Staterra is working to develop a cutting edge supplement specifically_x000D_
tailored to the needs of intermediate distance runners based on their amino acid kinetic profile. By determining the kinetic profile of_x000D_
amino acids during a long-distance run as well as the immediate recovery period, we believe we can develop an amino acid_x000D_
supplement to support performance and recovery of everyday runners., program purpose french : Recently, running has increased in popularity. Thousands of Canadians regularly run each year, whether it is socially, for weight_x000D_
