Proper hydration and carbohydrate (CHO) intake during exercise are crucial for endurance athletes. This study provides specific beverage recommendations to prevent dehydration and optimize performance during prolonged physical activity.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Nutrition
  • Exercise Physiology
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Endurance exercise, particularly in heat, leads to fluid and electrolyte loss through sweat.
  • Depletion of glycogen stores and dehydration can cause hypovolemia, hypoglycemia, hyponatremia, hyperthermia, and reduced performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review gastric emptying and intestinal absorption relevant to exercise nutrition.
  • To propose evidence-based beverage formulations for pre-event, during-exercise, and recovery hydration and fueling.

Main Methods:

  • Review of physiological principles of fluid and carbohydrate balance during exercise.
  • Development of specific beverage composition guidelines (carbohydrate concentration, electrolyte content) based on exercise duration and intensity.

Main Results:

  • Specific fluid and carbohydrate (CHO) intake recommendations are provided for exercise durations (<1h, 1-3h, >3h).
  • Electrolyte (Na+) content recommendations increase with exercise duration.
  • Post-exercise recovery beverages should contain CHO and Na+ to promote rehydration and glycogen replenishment.

Conclusions:

  • Tailored beverage strategies are essential for maintaining hydration, electrolyte balance, and energy availability during endurance exercise.
  • Optimal fueling strategies can prevent performance decrements and aid recovery.
