Carbohydrate Oxidation Kinetics
Mathematical models for intra-workout carbohydrate dosing.
The human gut can typically oxidize 1g/min of glucose. To push beyond 60g/hr for endurance events, multiple transportable carbohydrates (MTC) are required.
By utilizing a 2:1 ratio of Glucose (SGLT1 transporter) to Fructose (GLUT5 transporter), athletes can achieve oxidation rates of up to 1.5g/min (90g/hr).
