News 12-09-2011 Course Map Available - Click Here to View Shotz Sports Nutrition Nutrition issues faced by cyclists MTBers train long and hard hours and therefore require a high-energy diet coupled with sufficient fluid. Adequate carbohydrate during training sessions and competitions is important to fuel muscles, boost your immune system and enhance concentration. Energy needs will vary significantly between athletes. MTBers in heavy training will require 6-8 meals daily to make sure they are meeting their energy requirements. The foods MTBers consume, supply energy in the form of carbohydrate to the working muscles. Therefore, it is essential that they consume foods that are high in carbohydrates to: Refresh, in the meal before a ride (Perfect time for a Shotz energy bar!!) Fluid issues faced by MTBers MTBers have more to worry about than just their energy needs. The fluid requirements of MTBers are high due to both the high intensity and duration of a ride. To make matters more complicated it is important to consume both water and electrolytes when rehydrating. Think about it like this…. If you were admitted to hospital with dehydration, the educated doctors would put you on a saline drip. It doesn’t take six years in medical school to recognize that we lose both sodium and water in our sweat. Seems pretty obvious then that MTBers should be drinking water and sodium to rehydrate. We have made this easy for you: 1 Shotz tab + 500ml water = perfect rehydration formula Check out what some Australian MTB champions consumed during their last 100km race: Lachlan Norris If you want to discuss your personal requirements to help achieve all your MTB goals feel free to organize a chat with our in house accredited dietitian/nutritionist.
