Potato puree is an ideal 'race fuel' for athletes and can boost performance just as much as trendy carbohydrate gels, scientists claim.
Trained cyclists given 2.1oz (60g) of carbohydrate from potato every hour finished a race six minutes faster than those who were sipping just water.
And researchers found the puree worked just as well as sugar-laden digital advertising and marketing expensive carb gel pouches, which are loved by athletes.
A study on cyclists found a 60g dose of potato puree every hour can boost performance
The puree worked just as well as carb gel pouches such as PowerBar
University of Illinois researchers tested the puree against carb gels digital advertising and marketing water on 12 professional cyclists who rode 165 miles (267 kilometers) per week, on average.
Lead researcher Professor Nicholas Burd said: 'Research has shown that ingesting concentrated carbohydrate gels during prolonged exercise promotes carbohydrate availability during exercise and improves exercise performance.
'Our study aim was to expand and diversify race-fueling options for athletes and offset flavor fatigue.'
During intense exercise, the body craves carbohydrate fuel because it is the most efficient energy transfer to fatigued muscles, compared to protein and If you cherished this post and you would like to receive additional data about digital advertising and marketing marketing digital advertising and marketing ads (emarketingworld.online) kindly check out our own web page. fat.

Carbohydrate gels, which come in singular pouches, are formulated to deliver a shot of carbohydrate while on the move to substitute a snack.
The researchers said: 'Potatoes are a promising alternative for athletes because they represent a cost-effective, nutrient-dense and whole-food source of carbohydrates.
'Furthermore, they serve as a savory race fuel option when compared (with) the high sweetness of (carbohydrate) gels.'
