Resumen de Marathon Fueling Techniques: Physiologic Understanding and a Proposed Intake Schedule

John Bennett, Michael P. Kehoe

• THIS REVIEW EXAMINES FUELING TECHNIQUES DURING PROLONGED ENDURANCE EVENTS AND PRESENTS A PROPOSED MARATHON FUELING INTAKE SCHEDULE. BOTH TRADITIONAL AND RECENT PERSPECTIVES IN PHYSIOLOGY ARE EXPLORED AND PROVIDE THE BASIS FOR DISCUSSION OF PROJECTIONS FOR HUMAN ENERGY POTENTIAL. IT IS THE INTENTION OF THIS REVIEW TO FOCUS SPECIFICALLY ON THE UPPER-ECHELON MARATHONER AND THOSE COMPETITORS CONCERNED WITH THE FINITE POINTS OF PERFORMANCE RATHER THAN SIMPLY RACE COMPLETION.
