Saccharide Composition of Carbohydrates Consumed during an Ultra-endurance Triathlon
It is generally known that the supply of a mixture of glucose and fructose during physical stress increases carbohydrate oxidation and reduces gastrointestinal problems. With a 70.3 triathlon, the athletes consumed different products and drinks.The ratio of glucose to fructose was on average 2.9: 1.If more than 50 g of carbohydrates were supplied per hour, it was more likely to digestify problems.
