Most of those findings don't come as much of a surprise.Originally Posted by shaunaneto
But the study sort of overlooks the fact that the simple purpose of sporting carbo drinks, in cycling especially, is just to get some energy on long rides where it's not so easy to eat or carry lots of food.
It's a simple energy in, energy out calculation, with perhaps the added benefit of averting cramp with salts / sugars.
If a proper double-blind test showed that drinks with carbs had no effect on maintaining energy levels, THEN I'd be listening.
