Introduction

Episode 173 of the Institute of Performance Nutrition's "We Do Science" podcast! In this episode, I (Laurent Bannock) discuss "CHO Feeding Formats: Impact on CHO Oxidation During Exercise" with Dr Mark Hearris (Liverpool John Moores University, and The Institute of Performance Nutrition, UK).

Discussion Topics Include:

• Review of what we know about Carbohydrate (CHO) availability and utilisation during exercise
• Effects of CHO delivery form on exogenous CHO53 oxidation, gastrointestinal discomfort, and exercise capacity
• CHO feeding strategies (i.e. pre-exercise CHO feeding and the different forms (fluid, semi-fluid, solid) and combinations of CHO during exercise) commonly adopted by elite endurance athletes
