Isotonic Etixx 1000g Watermelon

During exercise, our sweat helps us regulate body temperature. This fluid loss can be detrimental to performance and therefore athletes must compensate for it with their chosen beverage and replace lost fluids. When we sweat we lose key electrolytes such as potassium and magnesium that are essential for performance. In addition, they must also be replenished to stimulate fluid retention and the feeling of thirst. In addition, performance in prolonged exercise depends on the availability of muscle glycogen and so it is important to take carbohydrates during exercise to replenish fuel reserves.

If carbohydrates are not consumed during prolonged or intense efforts, muscle glycogen stores will be depleted after approx. about 90 min. of effort. The amount of carbohydrates that you should take during exercise will depend on the duration and intensity of the training or competition.

Exercises <1h (15): it is not necessary to consume carbohydrates during exercise.

Exercises 1-2h: 30 g of carbohydrates per hour of exercise (~ 500 ml Isotonic).

Exercises 2-3h: 60 g of carbohydrates per hour of exercise (~ 1 L Isotonic).

Exercises> 2.5-3h: up to 90 g of carbohydrates for every hour of exercise. (~ Up to 1.5 L Isotonic).
