Little and often is key for athletes

Researchers at the University of Bath have concluded that thebest way for athletes to recover after exercise is to eat a smallamount of carbohydrate regularly.

Dr James Betts, from the Human Physiology Research Group at theuniversity's Department for Health, reviewed evidence on post-exercise nutrition to find out which nutrients are most importantfor recovery and why.

Dr Betts' review showed that feeding at 15 to 30-minute intervalsmay help the body to recover more quickly than if the same foods areingested less frequently.

He also found that a small amount of protein can offer some addedbenefits for recovery, partly because it increases the insulinresponse to feeding and therefore alters how the body handles theingested carbohydrate.
