The amount of carbohydrates available, is a factor determining performance in endurance sports and exercises intermittent high-intensity (alternating exercises and short breaks). This is why it is important to supplement the reserves of carbohydrates during this type of exercises. They ensure the maintenance of blood glucose levels during the workout and replenish glycogen stores in muscle.

These energy bars are available to use before and during exercise. Before exercise, an athlete's body must contain a rate as high as possible of carbohydrates. To this end, he must consume foods rich in carbohydrates in the days leading up to the competition or heavy workout (= charging in carbohydrates) and take a meal rich in carbohydrates 1 hour and a half to 4 hours before competition.

In the absence of consumption of carbohydrates during prolonged exercise, the reserves of muscle glycogen is depleted after about 90 min. How much carbohydrates should you eat during exercise?
