Bull Peak Performance Fitness has been the performance consultants to Red Bull since 2002. We run the Red Bull Athlete Performance Programme, which is about helping the athletes through the physical demands of the sport. Given the diverse and unique nature of Red Bull athletes and the sports they compete in, some extremely lateral thinking is involved in getting the best out of them! We not only do the traditional strength & conditioning work you’d expect, we also develop original training rationale for sports and athletes where no information was previously available. We also co-ordinate all the sports medicine services (physiotherapy, nutrition, specialist consultants) to aid the athletes in a speedy return to competition should they become injured. |

| What does it do? Red Bull focuses your mind, allowing you to apply yourself physically. This ensures that you perform safely and effectively at 100% with maximum return on your effort. Some Frequently Asked Questions: Is Caffeine a Banned substance in sport? No, as of Jan 1st 2004 caffeine was officially taken off the banned substance list by WADA (the World Anti Doping Agency). Prior to this decision however Caffeine was viewed a substance that needed to be monitored and was therefore subject to a limit. This limit was the equivalent to drinking 6-8 cans of Red Bull every 2 hours. Is there any difference Between Red Bull in Different Countries? Red Bull is still canned in the original factory using the same water source. Each Red Bull country has an allotted run in the factory, before be packed into containers and the transported to its destination. This ensures that the can of Red Bull you buy in Moscow is exactly the same as the can you buy In California, apart from the lettering! Stimulation or Sugar free? The effects of Stimulation and Sugar Free Red Bull on the body and mind are the same. If you’re on a calorie-controlled diet, or feel that you do not need the 25g of carbs as you pre-activity carb plan has taken care of it, then use sugar free. If however you feel that those 25g of carbs will be required, then use stimulation or a combination of both stimulation and sugar free. |
