New Protein Infused Water from The Vita Coco Company Will Support Active Recovery for DEKA FIT Athletes in 2022
NEW YORK, March 24, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today The Vita Coco Company announces its new protein-infused water brand, PWR LIFT, is partnering with DEKA FIT, the decathalon of functional fitness founded by endurance sports leader Spartan. Beginning this year, DEKA FIT racers can expect the full suite of PWR LIFT protein waters at the finish line of every U.S. DEKA FIT event.
PWR LIFT is the ultimate recovery drink that gives consumers the hydrating benefits of a sports drink with the functional benefits of protein. With 10 grams of whey protein to repair muscle, energizing b-vitamins and powerful electrolytes, PWR LIFT is harder working hydration that your body needs after a tough workout – all at just 50 calories and with zero sugar.
“The isotonic drink category is growing by more than
Inspired by the Greek term meaning “Ten,” DEKA FIT debuted from Spartan in 2020 with the ultimate goal of creating a fitness benchmark that could be tested in a controlled environment not influenced by ability, location or terrain. The DEKA FIT events are designed so each racer knows exactly where they stand in reference to other competitors. Each DEKA FIT event begins with a 500-meter run followed by the 10 DEKA Zones which include rowing, sit-ups, burpees and more.
“Active recovery is a key focus for our athletes, by starting that process with PWR LIFT when they immediately cross the finish line, it allows them to add an extra edge to their performance. We are thrilled to have such a high quality, great tasting product as part of the DEKA FIT race day experience,” said Ian Lawson, VP of Global Partnerships at Spartan Race, Inc.
PWR LIFT is a one-of-a-kind addition to the isotonic drink category. Unlike most sports drinks on the market, PWR LIFT combines the functionality of electrolytes with the muscle rebuilding power of protein. The use of whey protein in PWR LIFT helps promote increased and preserved lean muscle mass while repairing tired muscles. Whey is a complete, easy-to-absorb and high-quality protein that promotes muscle growth and maintenance when combined with strength training and can help reduce inflammation.
In partnering with DEKA FIT, PWR LIFT will become a staple for DEKA racers, with product available onsite at the finish line for all 2022 DEKA FIT series events and 100 DEKA FIT affiliate events around the country. Additionally, PWR LIFT will have a significant digital media presence through DEKA FIT and will be featured in the company’s newsletters and across its social media platforms, including the Spartan Up! Podcast series.
