The answer depends primarily on the total amount consumed per unit of time, as well as duration and individual tolerance. During very long or intense sessions, where more than 80 g of carbohydrates per hour need to be consumed, glucose alone quickly reaches its absorption limit (approx. 60 g/h). Only by adding fructose can this limit be extended to 100–120+ g/h. A ratio of 1:0.8 glucose to fructose is recommended: • for competitions lasting more than 2 hours, • for training rides lasting several hours, • for high performance goals and generally high energy requirements, and • for athletes with high training loads who follow the «fuel for the work required» strategy.
