Sport drinks

Description

During exercise, your body sweats to help regulate body temperature. This loss of fluid can be extremely detrimental to performance and therefore athletes must compensate by drinking to replace lost fluids. Not only that, but when we sweat we lose key electrolytes such as potassium and magnesium which are essential for performance. They must also be replaced to encourage moisture retention and stimulate thirst.

In addition to this, performance in prolonged exercise is reliant on the availability of muscle glycogen and therefore it can be important to take on carbohydrates during exercise to replenish fuel stores. If no carbohydrates were consumed during prolonged or intense efforts, muscle glycogen stores would be depleted afterapprox. 90min. The amount of carbohydrate you should take during exercise depends on the length of the session or event.

  • Exercises < 1h:not necessary to consume carbohydrates during exercise .
  • Exercises 1-2h:30 g carbohydrates per hour exercise.(~500 ml Isotonic)
  • Exercises 2-3h:60 g carbohydrates per hour exercise.(~1 L Isotonic)
  • Exercises >2.5-3h:up to 90 g carbohydrates per hour exercise. (~Up to 1.5 L Isotonic)

These isotonic effervescent tablets are easy to take with you on the go and ideal to combine with an Energy Sport Bar or Energy Gel for consuming enough during prolonged exercise.

In addition, these isotonic effervescent tablets also contain sodium and potassium which help to compensate for electrolyte loss (through sweating). The addition of electrolytes also ensures better moisture retention and stimulates the thirst feeling.

With these Etixx Isotonic Drink Tabs you quickly prepare a light sparkling drink with the necessary carbohydrates and minerals to drink before/during the sports effort.
