Carbohydrate Science

PART 2
Fueling for performance, Carbohydrate science: Part 2 explores the latest trends in carbohydrate fuelling, the evidence behind them, and where the field may be heading next. Are we approaching the limits of what carbohydrate feeding can achieve—or is there still another level to unlock? This session examines where science, innovation, and speculation currently meet, tackling the most asked questions in applied sport.

Explore the full content outline

Recommendations for carbohydrate intake during exercise have shifted considerably in recent years — driven by improved understanding of intestinal carbohydrate transport, oxidation rates, and gut training. Alongside that progress has come a parallel rise in gimmicks, marketing claims, and persistent misconceptions that obscure what the evidence actually supports.

The series has three aims:
1. To provide a working understanding of the science behind current recommendations, so they can be adapted intelligently to the situation in front of you.
2. To deliver up-to-date, no-nonsense recommendations grounded in the current evidence.
3. To identify the myths, misconceptions, and marketing messages that distort applied practice.


 "By the end of the series, attendees should be able to cut through the noise and construct a world-class fuelling plan for almost any scenario."

Current Guidelines, Underlying Physiology, and Pre-Exercise Feeding (Free)

Current guidelines for carbohydrate intake before and during exercise. The physiology behind the numbers — gastric emptying, transporter saturation, exogenous oxidation. Application to pre-exercise feeding.

Current Debates and Common Questions in Practice 

The questions most frequently raised in applied work: train-low approaches, multiple transportable carbohydrates, gut training, intake at the upper ranges (90 g/h and beyond), individual variability, and areas where the literature is still developing.

Professor Asker Jeukendrup

Asker Jeukendrup has spent more than thirty years working at the forefront of carbohydrate metabolism research and as an applied practitioner in professional cycling, soccer, Ironman triathlon, marathon, and ultra-running at the highest level. Much of the research underpinning current fuelling guidelines has come directly from his lab and his collaborators. The underlying physiology, however, is not elite-specific. The same evidence base informs fuelling decisions for trained age-group athletes, team-sport players, and recreational endurance athletes. Targets scale with workload and tolerance; the principles do not change.

Asker spent most of his career as a professor at the University of Birmingham (UK) as Head of The Human Performance Laboratory. Currently he is a (visiting) professor at Loughborough University. He has authored 9 books and over 250 research papers and book chapters. During his career Asker has worked at the forefront of research as well as directly with athletes, including Olympic and World champions, Tour de France cyclists and Champions league football teams.
