Isabelle GAUTHERON, National Director of the French Triathlon Federation
The Triathlon is a very demanding sport. Triathletes must optimise their power-to-weight ratio and be very vigilant over their diet. From a young level, great importance is attached to training and informing sportsmen and women on exactly this point.
In the Federation our role is to help athletes perform at the highest level while staying in good health. To do that, of course we recommend a balanced diet, but the help provided by specific products such as Isostar is important too, as much during competitions as in training and recovery.
Eating energy products during exercise is essential: triathletes are recommended to eat energy foods appropriate to their needs... The Hydrate & Perform drink is well suited: it's an isotonic drink rich in carbohydrates and sodium. Passing rapidly into the blood, it enables accelerated hydrated.
But I also pay great attention to recovery and training so that athletes remain on peak form: competitions take place at the most once a week, while training is every day! I have to say that at the Federation we are very happy with the partnership with Isostar. The athletes are fond of dietary products, we supply them at their request, and Isostar can give them everything they need before, during and after exercise, in competitions and during training.
The Federation also supports the Isostar commitment to develop "clean" products, in accordance with the ethic of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA-AMA), through the Isostar Contract charter.
This approach is in the interests of sportsmen and women by avoiding putting them in danger.
