The list is relatively extensive, but essentially eliminates key sources of Carbon-13 from your diet. This will mean no gels or sports drinks, and no corn-containing or pineapple-containing foods, amongst others. Please see the full list below for details.<\/p>\n<p>On the day, you will come into the lab, and we will get you to give a breath sample into a test tube. We will then fix you up to <strong>cycle or run for 90 minutes<\/strong>. The exercise will be at a low\/moderate zone 2 level. At 0, 30, 60, and 90 minutes we will hook you up to the metabolic cart to take readings of your breathing and Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide readings.<\/p>\n<p>You will also be consuming a specially prepared drink which is high in carbon-13 (Informed Sport batch tested) at regular intervals.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the exercise period we will take some more breath samples for the test tubes to be sent away, and the test is over.

Some of these come from within \u2014 stored in your muscles and liver \u2014 and others come from the food or drink you consume before or during activity. The Fuelling Strategy test is an <strong data-start=\"499\" data-end=\"540\">Exogenous Carbohydrate Oxidation Test<\/strong> that helps us understand how well your body uses the <em data-start=\"589\" data-end=\"599\">external<\/em> (exogenous) carbs you ingest \u2014 like energy drinks or gels \u2014 during exercise.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"678\" data-end=\"953\">Why does this matter? Because not everyone uses ingested carbs in the same way. Some people can absorb and burn through them quickly, which helps power longer or more intense workouts. Others may struggle to process large amounts, leading to energy crashes or stomach issues.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"955\" data-end=\"1336\">Our fuel strategy test works by using a safe and natural form of carbohydrate that contains a special type of carbon (called carbon-13). When you consume this carb mix and begin exercising, we measure the air you breathe out to see how much of that labeled carbon shows up in your exhaled CO\u2082. That tells us exactly how much of the drink or gel you\u2019re actually using as fuel during your workout.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1338\" data-end=\"1548\">We collect this data while you perform a controlled exercise session (usually at a moderate effort), and then use highly sensitive equipment to analyze the carbon content of your breath. From this, we can tell:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"1549\" data-end=\"1829\">\n<li data-start=\"1549\" data-end=\"1612\">\n<p data-start=\"1551\" data-end=\"1612\"><strong data-start=\"1551\" data-end=\"1612\">How efficiently your body absorbs and uses ingested carbs<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1613\" data-end=\"1733\">\n<p data-start=\"1615\" data-end=\"1733\"><strong data-start=\"1615\" data-end=\"1651\">What your personal fuel limit is<\/strong> \u2014 the point where taking in more carbs won\u2019t help and could even cause discomfort<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1734\" data-end=\"1829\">\n<p data-start=\"1736\" data-end=\"1829\"><strong data-start=\"1736\" data-end=\"1787\">How your body responds to different carb blends<\/strong> (like glucose-only vs glucose + fructose)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1831\" data-end=\"2152\">This is especially useful for endurance athletes and fitness enthusiasts looking to maximise performance without trial and error. It allows us to create a <strong data-start=\"1986\" data-end=\"2013\">custom fueling strategy<\/strong> that\u2019s tailored to your unique physiology \u2014 ensuring you get the right amount and type of carbohydrate for your sport, duration, and body.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2154\" data-end=\"2421\">In short: this test takes the guesswork out of fueling. With a few breath samples and some smart science, we give you clear answers about how to fuel better, recover faster, and perform at your best \u2014 no guesswork, no gut issues, just personalised data you can trust.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_4,1_4&#8243; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;2560px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_enable_color=&#8221;off&#8221; positioning=&#8221;none&#8221; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; overflow-y=&#8221;hidden&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221; custom_css_main_element=&#8221;margin-top: auto;||margin-bottom: auto;||overflow: inherit;&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;on|20px|20px|20px|20px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_css_main_element_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; custom_css_main_element_tablet=&#8221;margin-top: auto;||margin-bottom: auto;||overflow: inherit;&#8221; custom_css_main_element_phone=&#8221;margin-top : 32px;||margin-bottom: auto;||overflow: inherit;&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;H2: How to prepare for a fuelling strategy test&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;Verdana|600|||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#001434&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;20px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1em&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;20px&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;18px&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; text_line_height_tablet=&#8221;1em&#8221; text_line_height_phone=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; text_line_height_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>How to prepare for a fuelling strategy test<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Paragraph&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;Montserrat||||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#001434&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;30px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;2vw||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;1vw||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;0vw||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;14px&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; text_line_height_tablet=&#8221;30px&#8221; text_line_height_phone=&#8221;24px&#8221; text_line_height_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Proper preparation is key to a successful fuelling test.
