Why do we need carbohydrates?

During intense exercise sessions Carbohydrates are the body's primary energy source.

Upon ingestion carbohydrates are broken down into glucose molecules and stored in the muscle and liver as 'glycogen'.

As exercise intensity increases, so too does muscle glycogen usage to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Note that ATP is used to fuel all metabolic reactions, often referred to as the energy currency within cells. It can be expected that glycogen stores will only last for roughly 90 minutes before levels drop, inducing the onset of fatigue.

Through simple and effective carbohydrate fuelling we are able to minimise the onset of significantly low glucose / glycogen levels, enabling us to work at higher exercise intensities for prolonged periods of time.

FUELLING GUIDE

There is no 'one size fits all' approach when it comes to Carbohydrate fuelling. Intake is largely dependant on a number of factors such as exercise duration, intensity, stomach tolerance and individual size / weight.

As a starting point we recommend recreational athletes to consume 40-60g of carbs per hour when exercising for over 60 minutes. This is a great base number to work from and adjust. Athletes will tend to gradually increase this intake over time whilst 'training the gut' to absorb an increased volume of carbs.

*When ingesting more than 60 grams of carbohydrate per hour, using a dual carbohydrate source becomes advantageous. Different proteins are used to transport such carbohydrates simultaneously, thus resulting in an increased rate of carbohydrate delivery and absorption at the muscles

FAQ'S

Everything else you need to know.

Why consume carbohydrates during exercise?

During intense exercise bouts, carbohydrates are the primary fuel source used by the body to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

ATP is used to fuel all metabolic reactions, often referred to as the energy currency within cells.

To maintain the contraction of skeletal muscles during exercise, a constant supply of ATP is needed.

During intense exercise bouts, carbohydrates are the primary fuels oxidised to produce this supply of ATP.
