Energy 14
Electrolytes support hydration and energy during running, cycling, gym training and endurance sport. This range includes running gels, energy tablets for water, hydration mixes and performance nutrition from well known sports brands. The selection suits both everyday training and longer events where maintaining energy and fluid balance matters.
Electrolytes help maintain hydration and energy levels during sport by replacing salts lost through sweat. Alongside electrolytes, sports nutrition products such as running gels and energy tablets support endurance training, races and long workouts where steady fuel and fluid balance are important.
Q: What are electrolytes and why are they used in sport?
A: Electrolytes are minerals such as sodium, potassium and magnesium that help regulate fluid balance and muscle function. During exercise you lose them through sweat. Replacing them with drinks, tablets or mixes can help maintain hydration and support performance during longer sessions.
Q: When should you use running gels?
A: Running gels are commonly used during endurance activities such as distance running, cycling or long training sessions. They provide fast carbohydrates that the body can absorb quickly. Many athletes take them during activity to maintain energy rather than relying only on pre‑exercise nutrition.
Q: What are energy tablets for water?
A: Energy or electrolyte tablets dissolve in water to create a hydration drink. They provide electrolytes and sometimes carbohydrates without the need to carry pre‑mixed sports drinks. They are often used during training, races or hot conditions where fluid replacement is important.
Q: Is creatine part of sports nutrition for training?
A: Creatine is a supplement commonly used to support strength and high intensity training. It works differently from electrolytes or gels, as it supports short bursts of power rather than hydration. Many gym and strength athletes include it as part of a structured nutrition routine.
The sports nutrition range includes hydration products, electrolytes, running gels and other training supplements suited to different sports and training needs. Intersport Elverys Ireland provides options designed for runners, gym users and endurance athletes looking to support hydration and energy during activity.
