Recovery and Carbohydrate Intake with Dr. Tim Podlogar - Science of Getting Faster Podcast Episode 2 Science of Getting Faster Podcast - Presented by TrainerRoad

Glucose and fructose are commonly ingested to improve endurance performance during a workout, but what effect do different mixtures of these two substances have on subsequent endurance performances? In other words, if you are training twice in one day, is it better to take in just glucose, or glucose and fructose? We asked Dr. Tim Podlogar what he learned during his study on the Impact of Post-Exercise Fructose-Maltodextrin Ingestion on Subsequent Endurance Performance, and what he still wants to know on this topic.
