Hydration is crucial for performance during the summer months and beyond. Whether it's a granfondo, a triathlon, a marathon, or a long race, if you don't drink the right amount of fluids, the physique and consequently performance suffers drastically by up to 30%. For this Ethic Sport studied products and intake techniques specifically to make the body perform in these stressful conditionsThree above all: SuperHydro, Super Dextrin e Ramtech Hydro.
As important as it is, there is not enough water: it is necessary to integrate water and mineral salt solutions, precisely to act correctly on gastric emptying times. Mixtures of salts, in fact, have shorter passage times in the stomach and prevent the athlete from incurring a sodium deficiency in the blood, in correspondence with large sweat loss.
The keys to hydration
The human body is made up of 65% water and, to keep its biological functions intact and efficient, cannot afford to lose more than 2-3% of fluids. In fact, a dehydration of only 3% of body weight leads to a overall reduction of approximately 5% in VO2max, that is, the maximum volume of oxygen per kilogram of weight that is consumed in one minute. If we were to reach 5% of this loss, the reduction in performance capacity would reach 30%.
Not only that, the dehydration stimulates proteolysis, glycolysis and hormone catabolism; leads to an increase in cortisol, which is called the stress hormone, thus pushing the body to enter a state of alert.
Good quality hydrosaline energy food supplements must therefore have a correct proportion between new generation carbohydrates and mineral saltsThe right ratio of ingredients guarantees highly effective hydration and a modulated release of energy. Even the timing is important, that is, the timing of taking the supplements, because wait for the stimulus of thirst to drink, it could be a unrecoverable error.
SuperHydro
For those with high demands performance during endurance activities and for those who need to hydrate effectively during long-duration workouts, EthicSport proposes SuperHydro. An energetic hydrosaline food supplement developed to obtain a hypotonic mixture, with carbohydrates and electrolytes. The solution maintains endurance performance during prolonged exercise and increases water absorption during physical activity, for optimal hydration.
The complex, characterized by new generation carbohydrates, allows for a differentiated, rapid and gradual release of energy. The presence of B vitamins and vitamin C contributes to normal energy metabolism, reduction of tiredness and fatigue, normal heart function, normal red blood cell formation. Finally at protection of the cells from oxidative stressSodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium are balanced for effective electrolyte replacement.
Il price available on the website for the 500g jar is 16,90 euros.
Super Dextrin
This supplement is positioned at the top with a patented formula, capable of provide four carbohydrates at the same timeThe different chemical-physical characteristics follow different metabolic pathways, for a gradual release of energy.
La formulation of Super Dextrin It is more fluid than mixtures of common maltodextrins or simple carbohydratesThe formula is obviously hypotonic and has a very low amount of water to be integrated.
Il price available on the website for the 700g jar is 26,90 euros.
Ramtech Hydro
The product is an advanced solution based on branched-chain amino acids, which meets the needs of athletes who train intensely and aim to improve recovery times by taking an intra-workout food supplement.
Ramtech Hydro It also provides beta-Alanine and B vitamins. vitamins B6 and B1 contribute to the normal energy metabolism. La Vitamin B6 also contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to normal metabolism of proteins and glycogen. Zinc present contributes to the normal protein synthesis. The presence of PepForm - Leucine Peptides, completes the formulation and allows aeffective assimilation of leucine.
Il price available on the website for the 250g jar is 37,90 euros.
