Yes, you read that correctly!

Omega-3 fats are a SPORTS PERFORMANCE aid. 

Researchers have shown several interconnections in the body that contribute to the ability of omega-3 fats to improve sports performance, and “lead to improvements in strength and endurance by enhancing aerobic metabolism” (Brilla & Landerholm, 1990; Bucci, 1993).

We also know that omega-3 fats “have been shown to minimize post-exercise soreness” (Jouris et al., 2011).

“While omega-3s are already well-established as cognitive function supporters, scientific research is also studying whether omega-3s can improve reaction time. One such study in 24 female soccer players showed a significant improvement in the neuromotor function”.

Pretty exciting, righty?!

Here are 8 more proven sports performance benefits of omega-3 fats, as expressed in The Complete Guide to Sports Nutrition, 8th Edition, Anita Bean 2017:

1. improved delivery of oxygen and nutrients to cells because of reduced blood viscosity
2. more flexible red blood cell membranes and improved oxygen delivery
