Tap water is adequate for training sessions of up to 30 minutes. For training sessions of up to two hours, an isotonic or hypotonic drink is advisable, depending on tolerance, and for two hours of training or more, the body needs proteins as well as carbohydrates. Long Energy is especially suitable for this purpose.

People who train a lot with ambitious goals must be careful to ensure an adequate supply of energy before, during and after training. Sport drinks, bars, energy snacks and gels are suitable here.

During the training phase, the body must get used to topping up its carbohydrate reserves so that it can fill its glycogen store completely before the competition. For this reason, plenty of carbohydrates should already be consumed during the preparatory period.

The requirement for proteins increases during muscle development but also during endurance activities. Healthy food covers the daily minimum requirement of 0.8 g per kg of body weight. During the development phase, however, endurance sports participants need up to 2 g per kg of body weight. A protein bar or delicious protein shakes can offer support here.

Sporting activities increase the body's defenses in the long term, but it is more susceptible to pathogens during and shortly after exertion. Anyone who trains regularly needs an increased supply of anti-oxidants (vitamins A, C, E, selenium, etc.) which protect the cells against free radicals and therefore help to maintain the body's resistance.
