According to intensity and duration
If you have questions about how to train your stomach or intestine, check out these two guides, "Training the Gut" and "Train Your Digestive System."
At FANTÉ, we want to take sports nutrition a step further and offer proven usage methods that help both boys and girls, distinguishing between the follicular and luteal phases.
During the luteal phase, female athletes experience increased fat oxidation, increased protein oxidation, increased caloric expenditure at rest, and increased glycogen synthesis. However, carbohydrate oxidation is lower compared to the follicular phase, which is important to consider when preparing for a taper or during training.
During the follicular phase, female athletes experience lower fat oxidation and lower protein oxidation. However, they do experience higher carbohydrate oxidation rates.
Recovery
Preparation
Mix the correct dose with water or milk according to your body weight and shake vigorously.
Drink an extra bottle of water to replace fluids. This is approximately 120%-150% per kilogram lost. Drinking this extra bottle of water is to prevent the dehydration that occurs when you consume a hypertonic beverage, such as our Glycogen Recovery Drink. It's very effective at synthesizing glycogen, as it promotes the entry of solutes (carbohydrates) into the internal environment. However, this causes water to escape into the external environment, causing dehydration. This means you'll need to consume another extra bottle of water with your recovery drink ( calculate your sweat rate ).
Recommendation: Calculate your recovery dose with a scale to be more precise in the dosage.
In objective or stage competitions, consume 2 doses, one in the first hour and another in the second hour.
