Abstract

Intensive exercise affects digestion and absorption. Nevertheless, athletes involved in intensive endurance exercise are advised to ingest fluid and energy supplying nutrients, to compensate for the losses and to delay fatigue. The present review describes the effects of exercise on the gastrointestinal tract and the aspects which determine optimal fluid and nutrient delivery during exercise in different climatological and exercise conditions.
