As well as eating before exercise and after exercise, it is also very important to make sure where appropriate, that food and fluid is ingested during exercise, in both training and competition.
During moderate to high intensity exercise the body uses predominantly carbohydrate as a fuel source, as well as some fat storage. Carbohydrate fuel comes in the form of muscle glycogen and blood glucose. Depending on many factors, many sports can adequately be completed with focus on nutritional preparation. Our carbohydrate (and fat) storage covers most fuel needs, if well prepared. Fluid however is vital for during exercise for majority of activities, as sweat rate begins so does the bodies need for fuel intake.
