Ingestion of a combination of different types of carbohydrate during exercise can improve performance in both short-duration and prolonged submaximal steady-state exercise.
Athletes should consider using a combination of carbohydrates during exercise to enhance performance.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
the ingestion of a combination of different types of carbohydrate during exercise results in high rates of muscle glucose oxidation (1.5 g/min) and can improve intense, short-duration (approximately 60 min), and prolonged (>90 min) submaximal steady-state exercise.
Why this rating
The claim is based on recent findings regarding carbohydrate ingestion during exercise.
