Endurance Sports Nutrition
Fans of endurance sports know that the right endurance nutrition contributes to their long duration training. If you’re exercising for a long duration, you’ll want to top up your energy in a quick an efficient manner. That’s why endurance nutrition products mostly focus on delivering carbohydrates and electrolytes. Carbohydrate foods and drinks reduce the perception of athletic fatigue1. They also help reduce the perception of effort, making you feel better during exercise1. Hydration is another key factor in endurance sports, which is where carbohydrate electrolyte drinks come into play. These drinks replace fluid and salts lost in sweat fast and can help you perform for longer1. Whether it’s running, swimming or cycling, if you’re in it for the long haul, these products can be a useful addition to your diet.
