Question

consuming a sports beverage to obtain carbohydrates is recommended ____. select one a. during all vigorous-training activities b. during exhausting endurance activities lasting more than one hour c. only during competition d. once activities continue past 40 minutes e. just before an athlete \hits the wall\

Explanation:

To determine when consuming a sports beverage for carbohydrates is recommended, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Not all vigorous training needs carb - rich sports drinks (e.g., short - duration, low - intensity).
• Option B: Exhausting endurance activities over an hour deplete glycogen. Consuming carbs during these helps maintain energy, so this is correct.
• Option C: Carb intake during non - competitive endurance training (e.g., long runs) is also beneficial, not just competition.
• Option D: Activities over 40 minutes (not just past 40) may need carbs, and the timing is about duration type, not just passing 40 minutes.
• Option E: "Hitting the wall" is glycogen depletion; consuming before is too late as the need is during prolonged activity.

Answer:

B. During exhausting endurance activities lasting more than one hour
