The Natural Oat Sport Bar for Prolonged Low-Intensity Effort

Performance during prolonged or high-intensity intermittent exercise relies on the availability of muscle glycogen. To ensure optimal performance, it's essential to maximize carbohydrate stores before an event and to consume carbohydrates during prolonged efforts to replenish fuel stores and maintain energy levels.

The Etixx Natural Oat Sport Bar is suitable for both pre-exercise and during prolonged exercise. Before exercise, it helps top up carbohydrate stores, which should be combined with a carbohydrate-rich diet leading up to competition or intense training. During long endurance or high-intensity efforts, consuming carbohydrates replenishes fuel stores, helping to prevent glycogen depletion, which occurs after approximately 90 minutes of exercise without carbohydrate intake.

How Many Carbohydrates Should Be Taken During Exercise?

• Exercises <1h 15min: No need to consume carbohydrates during exercise
• Exercises 1-2h: 30g of carbohydrates per hour (~1 bar)
• Exercises 2-3h: 60g of carbohydrates per hour (~2 bars)
• Exercises >2.5-3h: Up to 90g of carbohydrates per hour (~up to 3 bars)

The Etixx Natural Oat Sport Bar contains not only 30g of carbohydrates but also 10% more fat than the Etixx Energy Sport Bar, making it ideal for the early part of long-term, low-intensity efforts. The added fat slows energy release, providing a more sustained supply over time, and enhances satiety, helping athletes feel full during extended exercise.

Who Can Benefit from the Etixx Natural Oat Sport Bar?

This bar is ideal for athletes who need carbohydrates to maintain performance, offering a slow release of energy during endurance events like marathons, triathlons, or cycling sportives. It’s also useful for team sport athletes during breaks (e.g., half-time in football). Additionally, it's perfect for athletes looking to increase carbohydrate intake in their daily diet, especially on days with multiple hours of training.
