Combat sport athletes improve competition performance primarily by improving their sport-specific skills. In addition, by improving strength, power, power endurance, aerobic endurance, and speed, competition performance can be enhanced. Enhancing recovery is also a primary objective of combat sport athletes. Several dietary supplements have been documented to enhance both performance and recovery. These dietary supplements include, but may not be limited to, creatine monohydrate, [beta]-alanine, protein, branched-chain amino acids, and carbohydrates.
