As such, it is important that \u003cstrong\u003ecarbohydrate stores are maximised\u003c\/strong\u003e before endurance exercise and that during prolonged exercise where this stores are depleted, \u003cstrong\u003eadditional carbohydrate\u003c\/strong\u003e is consumed to \u003cstrong\u003emaintain performance and avoid fatigue\u003c\/strong\u003e. Consuming carbohydrates will help to \u003cstrong\u003emaintain blood glucose\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ereplenish muscle glycogen\u003c\/strong\u003e. If no carbohydrates are consumed, muscle glycogen will be depleted after approx. 90 minutes of exercise and severe fatigue may occur.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eamount of carbohydrate\u003c\/strong\u003e that you should take on during exercise will depend on the length of your training or competition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExercises \u0026lt; 1h: not necessary to consume carbohydrates during exercise.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExercises 1-2h: 30 g carbohydrates per hour exercise.(~1 energy gel)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExercises 2-3h: 60 g carbohydrates per hour exercise.(~2 energy gels)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExercises \u0026gt;2.5-3h: up to 90 g carbohydrates per hour exercise.(~up to 3 energy gels)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ehe Etixx Isotonic Energy Gel is a \u003cstrong\u003eunique sugar mixture\u003c\/strong\u003e that consists of high-speed sugars (glucose and maltose), semi-slow sugars (sucrose) and slow sugars (complex sugars). This sugar mixture provides a \u003cstrong\u003equick energy\u003c\/strong\u003e boost, yet still provides energy over \u003cstrong\u003ea long period of time\u003c\/strong\u003e (see figure). Moreover, glucose and fructose use different transport systems when they are absorbed into the body. This means that in total more carbohydrate can simultaneously enter the blood stream when glucose and fructose are consumed together in comparison to when only one of the two sugars is consumed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Isotonic Energy Gel is ideal for endurance and strenuous exercise in \u003cstrong\u003ehot weather\u003c\/strong\u003e and for athletes with high sweat rates. Electrolytes (sodium and potassium) are added to replace those electrolytes lost through sweating. Sodium intake also helps to ensures that moisture is retained better in the body and stimulates thirst. This gel is \u003cstrong\u003eisotonic\u003c\/strong\u003e (6.9% carbohydrate per 100 ml) when dissolved in 350 ml water and this leads to optimal absorption of moisture, carbohydrates and minerals. This gel can be consumed with or without water and therefore is ideal for carrying with you on training sessions when it can be hard to take supplies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho will benefit from using the Etixx Isotonic Energy Gel?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Etixx Isotonic Energy Gel is suitable for \u003cstrong\u003eall athletes\u003c\/strong\u003e that need to quickly \u003cstrong\u003ereplenish their energ\u003c\/strong\u003ey during prolonged exercise. Therefore it is ideal to consume immediately before or \u003cstrong\u003eduring prolonged endurance\u003c\/strong\u003e events such as cycle sportives, triathlons and marathons. Not only that but it contains added electrolytes and therefore is ideal for consumption in \u003cstrong\u003ehot weather\u003c\/strong\u003e when \u003cstrong\u003esweat rates are high\u003c\/strong\u003e.
