What elite athletes who practice and perform at elite levels need - TopicsExpress



          

What elite athletes who practice and perform at elite levels need for hydration and replenishment is hardly the same as what the average trainee needs. In fact most typical athletes, without using any pre-peri, post replenishment nonsense - have enough carbohydrate stores in the body to fuel almost 3 hours of endurance work at 70-80% max efforts. (McClusky, 2014) - In fact Asker Jeukendrup - head of Gatorades own research lab has stated that if you are exercising for less than 75 minutes -> YOU DONT NEED ANY REPLACEMENT INTAKE AT ALL FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE DURING OR AFTER EXERCISE. Your body already has plenty of fuel stored for these shorter workouts with no need for bars, gels, drinks etc. And in terms of weight-loss, consuming these drinks post-workout - will halt progress in weight-loss efforts as well. Balance meal throughout the day still rule for 90% of trainees, 90% of the time!
