DAVID BUTTIFANT PhD - COLLINGWOOD SUPPLEMENTATION PROGRAM

April 29, 2009

The Collingwood Football Club continually seek to improve performance and accelerate recovery responses at the elite level.

Musashi have been an innovative supplier of cutting edge products that have provided us with recovery and performance benefits. The Collingwood Football Club has been using Musashi Products for at least four years throughout the pre-season and in-season competition. Musashi provide a diverse range of products includingprotein supplements in which have been invaluable with our preparation.

RE-ACTIVATE is a product that the Collingwood Players use regularly precompetition and pre work outs. We have found this product to be very effective when used prior to performance due to the high carbohydrate and sodium bicarbonate content. This enhances blood buffering characteristics that subsequently increases the time to exhaustion during exercise at intensities between 80%-120% Vo2 max.

MUSASHI Bulk has been a favourite amongst the Collingwood players to assist with meeting their specific nutrient requirements. This supplement linked with Creatine Recovery Stack has been significantly influential on hypertrophy responses with our athletes. The heavy resistance program that is prescribed to the players requires frequent protein supplementation support and facilitates growth and repair.

We believe that Musashi offer groundbreaking products specifically designed for elite athletes. Effective nutritional supplements requires ongoing product support and research, Musashi excel in both these areas and subsequently enabled us to raise the bar.
