I'll address your questions by number. <br /><br />#9 - Here's a pretty good post by Friel which helps show value of recovery found in a study. http://www.joefrielsblog.com/2011/05/short-term-recovery.html%20<br /><br />There's also a lot of good info in my book, Triathlon Science. Check it out.<br /><br />#16 - My biggest issue is finding triathletes shoving salt tablets down their throats, and/or high concentration electrolyte drinks, thinking this has no consequences when racing hard. It most certainly changes the concentration of fluid in the stomach, and the demands that places on the body's water and blood supply. When you push the body, it tends to cramp, especially when it gets beyond it's capacity to withstand the stress. Pacing and training plays a bigger role than salt, electrolytes, etc. Jim Vancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05426517044390545605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5129249382503645064.post-38016911379374784462014-03-26T10:50:44.414-07:002014-03-26T10:50:44.414-07:009.

A quick googling indicates that "current research" agrees that it has no affect on recovery or performance. Can you link to any scientific studies that came to different conclusions? <br /><br />16. My understanding is that while no one understands exactly what causes cramps, there are a number of known contributors, including among other things dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and fatigue. Common sense and loads of anecdotal evidence seem to indicate that both getting fitter and replacing lost fluids and electrolytes are good cramping prevention strategies. And I've never before heard of salt as the main culprit for GI issues during endurance racing. Usually sugary carbs.Mr. Calveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03409048670645941430noreply@blogger.com
