It’s summer in many parts of the country. High temperature and sweltering heat are not only challenges for cyclists. Sweaty riding can also bring different passions. In the face of hot weather, cycling supplies are particularly important! Today, I will take you to know about summer sports supplements
Energy powder
There are many forms of energy powder. Brewing a pot of summer cycling can bring all kinds of energy needed for cycling to the body. Generally, the main components are minerals, electrolytes, carbohydrates and sodium ions. Among them, the supplement of electrolytes and sodium ions can effectively prevent the occurrence of muscle cramps in summer riding.
BCAA Sports Supplements
BCAA sports supplements can exist as separate products, and are often found in energy powders, energy gels and other products. BCAA is an abbreviation for compound branched chain amino acids. These amino acids promote anabolism (muscle growth) in two special ways.
BCAAs are also very anti-catabolic as they help prevent protein breakdown and muscle loss, which is very important for those who are on a diet and supplement after cycling to prevent muscle loss.
Salt pill
Although the energy powder contains a certain amount of sodium ions, which is more than enough for riding in ordinary environments, the amount of sweating in summer riding is relatively large, and the loss of salt in the body is relatively large, so additional salt needs to be added. It should be noted that after eating salt pills, it is necessary to add water to maintain the balance of water and acid-base in the body and maintain normal water content.
Energy gel
There are a variety of sugars added in energy gels, most of which are monosaccharides, which can be quickly absorbed by the body. When the rider consumes the energy gel, the monosaccharide is transported through the blood to the cells of various tissues for anabolism and catabolism, and the body can quickly replenish energy, which helps to continuously provide energy for our cycling.
Summer riding liquid energy gel is easier to eat and digest, and it is convenient to carry with you. It is a must for endurance sports!
The “out-of-stock tide” brought about by the epidemic has made it difficult to find a bike in the cycling circle. Even if some brands can order a bike, the delivery time varies from a few months to more than half a year. There are many bike fans who can’t wait to turn their attention to […]
Whether you’re a big cyclist or a novice cyclist, who hasn’t made some mistakes on the bike?

With the full popularity of the disc brake system for road bikes, the road bike market has completely resolved the debate between disc brakes and rim brakes. It can be said that disc brakes have completely taken over the rim brakes. But in road disc brakes, there is another debate, so is it better to […]
Today, most mountain bikes on the market are equipped with front fork shock absorbers, and even many gravel bikes are equipped with micro-travel shock absorbers in order to cope with more complex road conditions. There is enough suspension travel on a bicycle to measure the bumps that the bicycle can absorb, so what kind of […]
