Multiple-Transportable Carbohydrate Effect on Long-Distance Triathlon Performance

Conclusions: Multiple-transportable (2:1 maltodextrin/glucose–fructose) compared with single-transportable carbohydrate ingested in differing format provided a small benefit to long-distance triathlon performance, inferred as adoption worthy. Large sample in-competition randomized trials offer ecological validity, high participant throughput, compliance, and sensitivity for evaluation of health and performance interventions in athletes.
