Prolonged muscular exercise is accompanied by significant hydromineral losses and, if the training session or competition lasts longer than an hour, the body needs to receive the elements necessary for good performance, namely: carbohydrates, electrolytes and good hydration. For exercise that lasts longer than an hour, the body must be provided with carbohydrates, as regularly and continuously as possible. Regular consumption of isotonic exercise drinks containing carbohydrate or energy gels every 15-20 minutes (drink systematically after absorption) will provide the hydration and energy and electrolyte content essential for optimum performance. The sensation of thirst is a poor indicator of need. So you must drink before feeling thirsty.
