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 and replenish muscle glycogen\u003c\/strong\u003e. If no carbohydrates are consumed, muscle glycogenwill be depleted after approx. 90 minutes of exercise and severe fatigue may occur.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe amount of carbohydrate that you should take on during exercise will depend on the length of your training or competition.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExercises \u003cstrong\u003e\u0026lt; 1h\u003c\/strong\u003e: not necessary to consume carbohydrates during exercise.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExercises \u003cstrong\u003e1-2h:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e30g\u003c\/strong\u003e carbohydrates \u003cstrong\u003eper hour\u003c\/strong\u003e exercise.(~1 energy gel)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExercises \u003cstrong\u003e2-3h: 60g\u003c\/strong\u003e carbohydrates \u003cstrong\u003eper hour\u003c\/strong\u003e exercise.(~2 energy gels)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExercises \u003cstrong\u003e\u0026gt;2.5-3h:\u003c\/strong\u003e up to \u003cstrong\u003e90g\u003c\/strong\u003e carbohydrates \u003cstrong\u003eper hour\u003c\/strong\u003e exercise.(~up to 3 energy gels)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Etixx Nutritional Energy Gelis 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 means that the \u003cstrong\u003e\"triple action effect\"\u003c\/strong\u003e (three-phase sugars) provides a \u003cstrong\u003equick energy boost\u003c\/strong\u003e, yet still provides energy over a \u003cstrong\u003elong 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. The energy gel is a \u003cstrong\u003ehighly concentrated\u003c\/strong\u003e form of sugars meaning it contains large amounts of fuel. To get the same amount of carbohydrates from an energy drink you would have to drink large amounts of fluid which would increase the likelihood of GI distress. It also contains no added nutrients such as protein or fat which can slow the emptying of the stomach.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho will benefit from the Etixx Nutritional Energy Gel?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Etixx Nutritional Energy Gel is suitable for \u003cstrong\u003eall athletes\u003c\/strong\u003e that need to \u003cstrong\u003equickly replenish\u003c\/strong\u003e their \u003cstrong\u003eenergy\u003c\/strong\u003e during prolonged exercise.

Furthermore, it may also be useful for team sport athletes to consume during rest periods\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Etixx","offers":[{"title":"Etixx Nutritional Energy Gel Cola 12x38g","offer_id":39701118681268,"sku":"3090404","price":35.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0526\/9445\/0356\/files\/7a829e8d16f46e0b9f37888cbda56c1d.jpg?v=1780261635","url":"https:\/\/shop.farmaxx.be\/en\/products\/etixx-nutritional-energy-gel-cola-12x38g","provider":"Farmaxx","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
