Carbohydrates formula for endurance sports athletes. 5-different times of glucose supply for up to 120 minutes of high energy output.
Glucose is especially useful for medium to high-intensity exercises that require sustained levels of activity. It can enable athletes to sustain performance at a high level for longer by delaying fatigue. This means that you can improve athletic performance by eating carbohydrates before and exercising.
Muscle glycogen, the predominant form of stored glucose in the body, and blood glucose are the main energy substrates for muscle contraction during exercise. Sucrose is an ideal substance for athletes to incorporate because it provides both glucose and fructose.
Therefore, it is essential that athletes monitor their diet to maintain and increase muscle glycogen deposits, since they are a major limiting factor of prolonged exercise performance. Carbohydrate-rich diets are also recommended for endurance and ultra-endurance exercise, because they are associated with increased muscle glycogen stores, as well as delayed onset of fatigue. In addition, high carbohydrate diets and carbohydrate intake before and during exercise have shown to be beneficial due to increased concentrations of hepatic glycogen and maintenance of blood glucose.
The effect of carbohydrate intake on athletic performance mainly depends on the characteristics of the exercise, the type and amount of carbohydrate ingested and the time of intake. A combination of these factors must be taken into account when analysing individual athletic performance.
Of course, not all types of sugars / carbs are the same.
Endurance Carbs 0′-120, combines a mix of 5 types of carbs with different molecular weights, absorption times, glycemic indexes, especially designed to support the athlete with glucose supply for 2 hours after consuming.
The key is the different glucose releasing times of these 5 types of carohydrates which Endurance Carbs 0′-120′ include.
Mix 1 scoop (40g) to 300ml of room temperature water.
Consume the mix during your training, from your warm-up to the end of the training session.
You can use Endurance Carbs 0’-120’ during your carb-loading season or mix it to your protein shake after training for very faster recovery.
