TORQ NUTRITION'S RACE FUELLING & DRINKING TIPS

What to drink

For any endurance sports energy drinks are designed to specifically meet the demands your body is put under. TORQ energy offers several advantages over water & many other products in the market today. It has an optimal carbohydrate blend of 2:1 maltodextrin to fructose ratio, all five electrolytes, natural flavours and no artificial sweeteners or preservatives.

Research has shown us that a 5% drop in performance for every 1% your body weight drops due to dehydration. It has also shown that athletes using sports drinks are far more likely to consume an adequate fluid intake and maintain their correct hydration level. The Carbohydrate in energy products provides you with your energy source for all your exercising muscles but when mixed at a 2:1 maltodextrin to fructose ratio gives you the added bonus of allowing your body a 40% higher carbohydrate utilisation rate than standard carbohydrate and can help decrease the time that is normally associated with carbohydrate insufficiency whilst riding and the draining of your glycogen stores from extended activity. In addition, the added electrolytes stimulate your thirst and can also assist in optimal fluid absorption and replace all the electrolytes lost through perspiration helping your body preserve muscle function.

What to eat

Because fuelling and hydration are linked in so many ways we have put a link at the bottom of this article. It will answer all your questions and really allow you to get a lot more out of your riding. The science behind fuelling for all endurance sports is the same. You need to aim to eat 1 gram of carbohydrates per kilo of body weight every hour to insure optimal performance. To understand this click the link below to contact us and receive your copy of our understanding nutrition flyer & our Performance Resource enquiries@torqaustralia.com.au and we will send you our 46 page training & nutrition resource manual that explains training theory, why nutrition is an integral part of the training process & how it will help you achieve a higher level of performance. It also has detailed hot & cold fuelling strategies, which will take away all the guess work of what to take, when and what amount.

How to Recover

Once you’ve finishing your ride it’s very important for optimal recovery to consume 1 gram of carbohydrate (high GI) at a 3:1 ratio with whey protein 15-30 minutes after exercising. This will speed up glycogen synthesis, in other words, it will help your store carbohydrates more effectively than consuming carbohydrates alone. It is also accepted that using whey protein isolate is faster acting than any other kind of protein providing muscle repair with minimum delay. A recovery drink is the best way of consuming these ingredients as it takes 3 grams of water to store 1 gram of carbohydrate.

Stage racing puts your body & immune system under so much pressure, so its very important to fuel correctly during & after each stage if you want to back it up each day. Just remember Eat today for Tomorrow.
