UNLABELLED Recently, it has been shown that ingestion of solutions with glucose (GLU) and fructose (FRC) leads to 20%–50% higher CHO oxidation rates compared with GLU alone. Although most laboratory studies used solutions to deliver CHO, in practice, athletes often ingest CHO in the form of gels (semisolid). It is currently not known if CHO ingested in the form of a gel is oxidized as effectively as a drink. PURPOSE To investigate exogenous CHO oxidation from CHO provided in semisolid (GEL…

Carbohydrate Intake in Form of Gel Is Associated With Increased Gastrointestinal Distress but Not With Performance Differences Compared With Liquid Carbohydrate Ingestion During Simulated Long-Distance Triathlon.

This study suggests that administration of GEL does not alter long-distance triathlon performance when compared with LIQ, but GEL seems to be associated with reduced GI tolerance, and athletes should consider this a potential disadvantage of Gels administration during long- distance triathlon.

Potato ingestion is as effective as carbohydrate gels to support prolonged cycling performance

The work shows that russet potato ingestion during prolonged cycling is as effective as carbohydrate gels to support exercise performance in trained athletes and expands and diversify race fueling menus for athletes.

The effects of a high molecular weight glucose polymer on muscle metabolism and exercise performance in humans

It appears that the HMW glucose polymer does not augment post exercise muscle glycogen resynthesis above that of an isoenergetic glucose polymer with a much lower molecular weight.

Carbohydrate Electrolyte Solutions Enhance Endurance Capacity in Active Females

It is confirmed that CES supplementation improves the moderate intensity endurance capacity of active females during the follicular phases of the menstrual cycle, however, the exogenous oxidation of carbohydrate does not seem to explain the improved capacity after CES supplementation.

Effects of Energy Gel Ingestion on Blood Glucose, Lactate, and Performance Measures During Prolonged Cycling

Ingestion of energy gels during prolonged cycling elevates blood glucose levels and enhances subsequent performance, whereas a more frequent ingestion elicits additional performance benefits.

Natural versus commercial carbohydrate supplementation and endurance running performance

Raisins and chews promoted higher carbohydrate oxidation and improved running performance compared to water only and Serum insulin was higher with the chews than both raisins and water during the sub-maximal exercise period.

Ingestion of Carbohydrate Solutions and Mouth Rinse on Mood and Perceptual Responses during Exercise in Triathletes

It appears that CH intake correlates positively with mood, but in all other variables, there are no differences depending on the product.

A Step Towards Personalized Sports Nutrition: Carbohydrate Intake During Exercise

These new guidelines may replace the generic existing guidelines for carbohydrate intake during endurance exercise and take into account the duration (and intensity) of exercise and advice is not restricted to the amount of carbohydrate; it also gives direction with respect to the type of carbohydrate.

Exogenous carbohydrate oxidation during ultraendurance exercise.

Comparing CHO(Exo) following the ingestion of a glucose solution (Glu) or a glucose + fructose solution (2:1 ratio, Glu+Fru) during ultraendurance exercise suggests an important role for gluconeogenesis during the later stages of exercise.

Carbohydrate-supplement form and exercise performance.

All carbohydrate-supplement types were equally effective in maintaining blood glucose levels during exercise and improving exercise performance compared with water only and there were no significant differences in blood glucose between carbohydrate treatments.

Oxidation of exogenous glucose, sucrose, and maltose during prolonged cycling exercise.

It is demonstrated that, when a mixture of glucose and sucrose is ingested at high rates during cycling exercise, exogenous CHO oxidation rates reach peak values of approximately 1.25 g/min.

The effect of carbohydrate gels on gastrointestinal tolerance during a 16-km run.

Despite high CHO gel intake, and regardless of the blend (GLU vs. GLU+FRC), average scores for GI symptoms were at the low end of the scale, indicating predominantly good tolerance during a 16-km run, Nevertheless, some runners experienced serious problems, and individualized feeding strategies might be required.

Oxidation of combined ingestion of glucose and fructose during exercise.

It is demonstrated that, when fructose and glucose are ingested simultaneously at high rates during cycling exercise, exogenous carbohydrate oxidation rates can reach peak values of approximately 1.3 g/min.

Oxidation of combined ingestion of maltodextrins and fructose during exercise.

The present study demonstrates that with ingestion of large amounts of maltodextrin and fructose during cycling exercise, exogenous carbohydrate oxidation can reach peak values of approximately 1.5 g.min, and this is markedly higher than oxidation rates from ingesting maltodesxtrin alone.

Superior endurance performance with ingestion of multiple transportable carbohydrates.

Ingestion ofGF led to an 8% improvement in cycling time-trial performance compared with ingestion of G, suggesting that GF led to a sparing of endogenous CHO stores, because GF has been shown to have a greater exogenous CHO oxidation than G.

Effect of carbohydrate feedings on muscle glycogen utilization and exercise performance.

It was concluded that repeated solid CHO feedings maintain blood glucose levels, reduce muscle glycogen depletion during prolonged exercise, and enhance sprint performance at the end of such activity.

Carbohydrate ingestion and single muscle fiber glycogen metabolism during prolonged running in men.

It is proposed that CHO ingestion improved endurance capacity by contributing to oxidative ATP production specifically in type I fibers and by doing so delayed the development of glycogen depletion in this fiber type.

Improved gastric emptying rate in humans of a unique glucose polymer with gel-forming properties.

The results of this study show that the carbohydrate present in C-drink, although it has the propensity to form a gel, empties from the stomach faster than that of an isoenergetic carbohydrate solution (G-drinks) without potentiating increased circulating blood glucose or insulin levels.
