It needs 20 to 60 grams of fast-absorbing carbohydrates at a rate every hour, such as all kinds of fruits or energy drinks for athletes that contain carbohydrates, sodium and potassium to raise muscle efficiency without any cramps during exercise.
He explained that after exercise, the body needs carbohydrates at a rate of one gram per kilo in the body within an hour to two hours after completing the exercise.
