Individual need

 

The individual need for energy is different for each athlete and depends on many factors.

Graph average carbohydrate requirement in sports
Average carbohydrate requirement of an athlete in the basic endurance range 1 and 2

 

  • physical requirements (age, weight, height, gender)
  • Condition of the route (altitude profile and surface)
  • Sport
  • individual performance and intensity (GA1 / GA2)

GA1 = Basic endurance 1:
Training is completed at a heart rate of approx. 60 to 70% of the max. heart rate.

GA2 = Basic endurance 2:
Training/competition is completed at a heart rate of approx. 70 to 80% of the max. heart rate.

 

 

Recommended use for cyclists

Based on the carbohydrate requirement figures listed previously, we have compiled a few recommendations to help guide product selection and dosage.

Choose your distance

With a short ride of about 40 km, the supply of carbohydrates is manageable, so at the end we load a ENERGY GEL sachet á 33 g is recommended. In the regeneration phase after the ride is a RECOVERY BAR with proteins and carbohydrates is recommended.

For longer rides, taking an ENERGY GELs can be taken after approx. 30 min in order to supply the body with carbohydrates at an early stage. In the further course of the load, we recommend a gel bag every 30 minutes. The intake of an ENERGY GEL should usually be followed by an intake of up to 200 ml of water.

For particularly long periods of exertion, we recommend a varied supply of carbohydrates and minerals, such as our ENERGY FRUIT GUMs, which can easily be chewed or sucked in portions. For all athletes who prefer a granular bar with a bite during exercise, we recommend the ENERGY BAR Fruit flavor.

As an alternative to the classic purse, the ENERGY GEL IN BOTTLES has proven itself. This dosage form can be used with one hand, does not spill and can be refilled after emptying in an environmentally friendly and inexpensive way.

For a short run of about 10 km, the supply of carbohydrates is necessary only to a small extent, so we at the end load a DRINK GEL á 60 ml is recommended. In the regeneration phase after the run, a RECOVERY BAR with proteins and carbohydrates is recommended.

For longer runs, such as a half marathon, taking an ENERGY GELs can be taken after approx. 30 min in order to supply the body with carbohydrates at an early stage. In the further course of the load, we recommend the intake of a gel bag every 30 minutes. A high-dissipation supply of carbohydrates is also offered by a bag of FRUIT GUMwhich can be chewed or sucked in small portions, and a sachet of ENERGY SUPER GEL with caffeine for a final energy boost at the end of the exercise phase. The intake of a gel sachet or the FRUIT GUM should usually be followed by an intake of up to 200 ml of water.

 

* Caffeine not suitable for children, pregnant women as well as caffeine sensitive persons.

In case of particularly long load duration, we recommend taking a ENERGY GELs.

For a more uncomplicated application, we recommend switching to the DRINK GELwhich, due to the increased water content, does not require additional drinking of water and thus provides an advantage during the race.

For the last stage, we also recommend taking a SUPER DRINK GEL with caffeine.

 

* Caffeine is not suitable for children, pregnant women as well as caffeine sensitive persons.
