How to Use
Baseball is a unique sport because the mental side of the game is so important. When the body of a baseball player becomes fatigued the player often times experiences a cognitive effect, meaning that the mind loses its edge because subconsciously it knows that the body isn’t going to react as fast as it needs to. Some say that it is psychological and can be controlled. However, most players agree that the mind and body of a baseball player are uniquely connected, and that if one part breaks or slows the other will come with it. There are ingredients in GAME TIME that may increase concentration, not to mention that the numerous ingredients that have been shown to enhance physical performance by giving your muscles the nutrients they need to stay fresh.
In Phase I of a clinical trial done at the University of Oklahoma, GAME TIME was shown to improve athletes’ times-to-exhaustion by 10-12% during high-speed running (Smith et al. 2009). This means that baseball players will be able to maintain a higher running speed through the bases or in the outfield in pursuit of hit. If you could get to that fly ball a split second earlier, you could dramatically increase the odds of a double play. GAME TIME has been proven to help you do just that!
In Phase II of the clinical trial at OU, taking GAME TIME on a regular basis increased VO2max by 17%, decreased body fat while maintaining muscle mass, and increased training volume by 12% during a 3-week interval training program. For baseball players, this means that GAME TIME improved endurance and the ability to train harder. GAME TIME is an energy-based product without the side effects of typical energy drinks that are full of sugar. There are only 40 calories per packet, and it’s not loaded with too much caffeine. So, with the proven study results showing that athletes can benefit from GAME TIME, ask yourself “what athlete will benefit from GAME TIME?” Answer: every athlete. every sport. For competition, take GAME TIME beforehand and again 2 – 3 hours later for those double-headers to ensure your body has enough to anaerobic energy stores to finish the game at 100%.
How should baseball players take GAME TIME?
GAME TIME is a pre-workout, pre-competition formula, so it can be taken at any point throughout the year during off- and in-season phases. One packet (2 servings) of GAME TIME should be mixed with 8 oz of cold water and taken 30 min prior to baseball practice, a general workout, or a game. However, if you’ve got a double-header, don’t sweat! Take a packet of GAME TIME 30 min before the first game, and then again before the second to ensure that your body has enough energy to finish the game at 100%.
