Today we give you some tips on how to integrate your training or your race from the food point of view!

During physical activity, it is always necessary to hydrate and eat properly , especially if the duration of the physical effort exceeds 2 hours.

Carbohydrates are the most digestible macronutrients, providing 4 kcal / gram, followed by proteins and finally fats.

This is the reason why it is recommended to consume carbohydrates in both liquid and solid form during exercise .

Carbohydrates in liquid form, Maltodextrin and Fructose dissolved in the bottle: it is not possible to have carbohydrates in liquid form at a concentration higher than a certain amount, in order not to risk encountering unpleasant situations related to the hyper-osmolarity of the solution that has been prepared, which would draw excess water into the digestive tract.

Energy bars , carbohydrates in solid form, easily assimilated and particularly suitable for endurance sports. The + Watt energy bars are not covered with chocolate, which is pleasant to the taste, but which reduces assimilation times, engaging the digestive tract for a long time. If the blood is drawn more into the gastrointestinal tract, it is withdrawn from the muscles.

Normally it is recommended, after the first 60 minutes of physical activity, to drink regularly every 20 minutes and eat an average of one bar every hour.
