UDINE. When football travels hand in hand with science. The Udinese players are in fact at the center of a study conducted by the manager of the Juventus club’s nutrition department, Antonio Molina, recently published together with the University of Seville. Thanks to the collaboration with Unifarco, a company in the integration sector and partner of Udinese, Molina conducted an analysis on the body composition of the players and on its evolution and the pre-season retirement (between 11 July and 11 August 2021).
Under the slow diet, food and rest during a particularly intense period. This is why the Bianconeri have taken supplements based on antioxidants, multivitamins, minerals and polyunsaturated fatty acids and two powder products (based on creatine, glutamine, leucine and essential amino acids). An innovative strategy that revolves around the non-use of proteins after training, proteins that have instead been included in the “table” of the diet. Thanks to this work, the players showed an improvement in PhA, the phase angle of the lower limbs, as well as on the lean component of the same, detected through Dexa, a cutting-edge machinery available to Udinese.
In short, if you have the impression that the legs of the Bianconeri now “turn” better, there is also a scientific basis, so much so that Molina’s study was also published by the Chilean mycology and body composition magazine.International Journal of Morphology.
