During exercise

The quantity of Energy Drink to consume during exercise depends on the individual athlete, the weather conditions, the intensity and duration of exercise. Nevertheless, we herewith provide you with an indication of which quantities of Energy Drink should be consumed during exercise.

Low intensity: drink 750ml per hour
Medium intensity: drink 750ml per hour
High intensity: drink 750ml – 1 litre per hour
Note: Drink during extreme hot weather conditions approximately 1 litre - 1,25 litres per hour during exercise.

Advice:
When you are not used to drinking during exercise, try this during training. Slowly increase the quantity you drink to approximately 200ml a time (in extreme hot weather conditions 300ml per time). Drink this quantity every 15-20 minutes. It will improve your performance.

After exercise

Drink, directly after exercise, approximately 500ml Energy Drink for an optimal recuperation of the fluid balance and to replenish the used energy.
Note: After an intensive exercise longer than 1 hour, we suggest you also use a Recovery (drink or bar) for a faster recuperation of the glycogen store and the muscles. Consume the Recovery products after having consumed 500ml Energy Drink.

Tip: If you prefer the light sweet Energy Drink, but you wish to obtain a higher carbohydrate content, dissolve 2 levelled scoops of Energy Drink and 1 levelled scoop of Energy Mix in 750ml water. This is also a hypotonic drink and therefore absorbed faster by the body than plain water. It contains 74g carbohydrates per litre (of which 71% maltodextrin and 29% sucrose).
