Question

to ensure optimal carbohydrate intake, sports nutrition experts recommend how many grams of carbohydrate per hour during prolonged events?
a. 10 to 20
b. 20 to 30
c. 30 to 60
d. 60 to 100

Explanation:

In sports nutrition, for optimal carbohydrate intake during prolonged events (like endurance sports), experts recommend 30 to 60 grams of carbohydrate per hour. This range helps maintain energy levels and glycogen stores. The other options (10 - 20, 20 - 30, 60 - 100) are either too low (not providing enough energy) or too high (may cause gastrointestinal issues or not be efficiently utilized).

Answer:

c. 30 to 60
