Single or Multiple Carbohydrate Sources: Which is Better for Performance?
by Dr. Salvatore J. Tirrito
|
|
Every sports drink out there claims to have the "right stuff" in order
to improve your performance, but most of them really do not back up
their claims with any real scientific data. First, let us understand
the difference between improving your performance and peak performance.
I can take a bag of Skittles dissolve them in my water bottle and all
of a sudden I have a drink that will improve my performance. In
activities over an hour, any source of carbohydrate will help improve
your performance compared to water. Therefore, those "scientific"

SPINERVALS 27.0 - THRESHOLD TEST & SUFFER FEST
|
|
Discover your HEART RATE and POWER TRAINING ZONES while boosting your threshold with this Amazing Workout!
Spinervals 27.0 - Threshold Test & Suffer Fest,
serves dual purposes. A great threshold building workout designed to
boost your anaerobic threshold and sustainable power output for time
trialing events including triathlons, this workout also functions as a
repeatable 'field test' used by many prominent coaches and
exercise physiologists to determine an athletes 'Functional Threshold',
or that output of work (power) one can sustain on average over a 20
minute period.
By learning one's functional threshold and
retesting it every 6-8 weeks, an athlete can accurately determine the
proper training zones as well as assess their training progress over
time. This form of performance testing is critical for anyone
interested in getting faster on the bike and achieving optimal results
through a structured training program.
