Skiing initially developed as a way to hunt in snow–covered terrain, then as a mode of transportation in winter and eventually as a sport.

As a sport it is extremely demanding. It subjects the body to repeated stresses and involves strenuous exercise at high altitudes with the incumbent respiratory effects( compromised oxygen uptake) and associated risk of injury. Slalom and downhill skiing are anaerobic activities which require massive bursts of power, coordination and strength whilst cross-country skiing is a more aerobic activity, requiring endurance and strength.

We have developed a programme of nutrients especially for skiing to be taken before, during and after exercise:

• The “before” product package is designed to maximise the intake of carbohydrate prior to a major bout of exercise utilising mainly long – chain glucose polymers.
• The “during” product package is designed to maintain hydration during exercise whilst providing some energy in the form of a combination of carbohydrates.
• The “after” product package combines protein and carbohydrates to promote recovery, muscle resynthesis and growth.
