| All About Energy Gels |
|
Energy gels are often used by long distance athletes because they provide a fast acting, easily digestible source of carbohydrates that is light weight and can be consumed during an exercise session or athletic competition. Athletes typically consume one or two energy gel packets per hour during training sessions and events that extend beyond 1 hour. It is believed that energy gels enhance performance by raising blood sugar levels and delaying the onset of muscular fatigue. Before you use an energy gel for the first time during a long-distance event or exercise session, try it out at home to make sure it will not upset your stomach.
