FISH OIL BENEFITS FOR ATHLETES

Fish oil is obtained from oily fish such as tuna, herring and salmon. It contains docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid -- omega-3 fatty acids responsible for a plethora of health benefits. Some of these benefits can help athletes improve exercise performance and boost recovery.

Reduces Inflammation

Athletes often undergo high-intensity training that increases inflammation and the risk for pain and injury. This can decrease exercise performance and the ability to recover properly. Omega-3 fatty acids might be effective in reducing inflammation. Researcher Dr. William Smith from the University of Massachusetts found that omega-3 fatty acids decrease inflammation by diminishing the production of prostaglandins, hormone-like substances associated with inflammation in the body, according to the Science Daily website.

Increases Lung Function

Omega-3 fatty acids might boost lung function of athletes during and after exercise. Researchers from the Urima University in Iran examined the effects of omega-3 fatty acids supplementation on lung function during wrestling training. Subjects were placed into one of the following groups: experimental, which received training and omega-3s; placebo group; active control, which received training plus placebo; or inactive control, which received omega-3s. At the end of the 12-week study, scientists observed that subjects performing training and supplementing with omega-3s experienced improvements in lung capacity, including lung volume, according to the March 2010 issue of the "Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport."

Improves Body Composition

Athletes often focus on body composition, or fat to muscle ratio, in order to stay in top physical shape and maximize training and performance. In a study published in the October 2010 issue of the "Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition," Eric Noreen and colleagues found that participants taking fish oil for six weeks improved their body composition by increasing lean muscle mass and decreasing fat mass.
