Question
What should I drink to boost energy before a sports exam? Should it be glucose, and in a single straw form or a large bottle, like the kind we usually get when sick and receive intravenous fluids? How much should I consume? Thank you for your guidance.
Answer
The diet before a sports exam can directly affect the exam results. Appropriate eating can provide the body with the energy and fluids needed for physical activity, eliminate gastrointestinal discomfort, boost confidence, and ultimately achieve satisfactory results. Generally, having a small breakfast 90 to 120 minutes before the exam, such as bread with jam or fruit, is recommended. Avoid eating foods high in fat, as they are hard to digest and can stay in the stomach for a longer time, preventing the intake of sufficient carbohydrates. Pre-consuming glucose is beneficial, but it should be taken in advance. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
