THE R4 SYSTEM

The R4 System is an important milestone in our understanding of exercise physiology and is the basis of a new book, Optimal Muscle Recovery by Dr. Edmund Burke (Avery Publishing). Based on leading edge science, the R4 System establishes a new model that explains how the interaction of key physiological and nutritional factors enable muscles to operate at peak levels. Equally important, the R4 System establishes four simple, practical principles that every aerobic athlete can incorporate into his/her daily training to optimize recovery and achieve full muscle potential.

To understand why the R4 System represents a major breakthrough, one must look at research in exercise physiology conducted over the last 30 years. The first important milestone was the finding in the late 60's that showed that fluid and electrolyte replenishment play an essential role in muscle performance before, during and after exercise. The second milestone, in the 70's, defined the role carbohydrate supplementation plays in extending endurance and speeding recovery. These studies led to the technique of carbohydrate loading.

In the 90's research conducted at leading universities has significantly advanced our understanding of muscle physiology and has identified additional factors that influence muscle performance. This research has shown that:

Insulin stimulates the replenishment of muscle glycogen stores and prevents protein breakdown

Insulin is so essential in the post exercise recovery process that it can be termed the "master recovery hormone"

Protein and specific amino acids can enhance the insulin response thereby speeding muscle recovery

Free radicals buildup (oxidative stress) is an important component of exercise induced muscle damage

Anti-oxidants, amino acids and certain natural supplements can help reduce muscle damage and prevent oxidative and muscle stress

These scientific findings coupled with previous research on hydration and carbohydrate utilization has led to a new model of exercise physiology - the R4 System. The R4 System is based on four core principles:

Restore electrolytes and water.

Replenish glycogen stores rapidly.

Reduce muscle and oxidative stress.

Rebuild muscle protein.

The R4 System provides simple framework for the aerobic athlete to optimize muscle performance and speed recovery.
