Sports nutrition for cyclists

Cycling is a long movement that requires not only endurance and willpower to drive the entire route and be first at the finish line, but also a huge amount of energy that is constantly consumed and so necessary during speed races.
Overcoming physical exertion, along with sweat, you lose vital minerals such as sodium and potassium. Taking ordinary clean water will not replenish these minerals for you, but will only fill your stomach and possibly cause heaviness. To solve this problem, isotonic drinks exist, providing you with the necessary minerals along with water in small portions. In addition, they also contain glucose, which is the “fuel” for our body.

During long physical activity, you not only lose minerals, but also decrease glycogen reserves, which are contained in the muscles and contributes to their long work and tension, in a simple word endurance. To replenish glycogen reserves, it is enough just to eat foods consisting of slow proteins before the race. In this case, we recommend taking casein protein.
Casein protein is a slowly digested protein, the assimilation of which takes place within 2-4 hours. Taking a protein shake before arrival will help us to constantly nourish the muscles on the road, without creating a stressful situation for them and protect them from destruction.
Vitamins and minerals play a very important role in absolutely any kind of physical activity. While cycling, the need for trace elements increases several times, so we recommend an additional intake of vitamin and mineral complexes to maintain all body functions and the immune system.
