Energy
Whilst a healthy diet aids performance and recovery during intense and prolonged exercise energy supplements may be needed. Those undertaking regular exercise often have problems in maintaining a sufficient carbohydrate intake and this is where energy supplementscome invery useful as they minimise dehydration and provide a source of energy to muscles.Energy productscome in a variety of tastes and substance, are generally easily digested, convenient and travel well andcan take the form of drinks, powders, gels or bars.
Quick sources of energy during activity are energy drinksand gels. Powders can be diluted and carried in water bottles for on-the-go energy whilst gels come in easily carried single dose sachets.Gels contain high levels of carbohydrate and are designed for energy boosting rather than fluid replacement. The amount of water needed to digest different gels will vary so its important to read their instructions carefully. If you prefer a more solid source consider Shot Bloks jelly squares, Sports Beans or Energy bars which come in a variety of flavours.
