Nutrition: Calculate the following for an athlete who weighs 85 kg:Recommended intake of carbohydrate grams in the first hour after exerciseRecommended fluid intake if the athlete weighs 83.5 kg after exercise

Athlete is a person, who is trained and good at sports or games, exercise and physical skills. Athletes are the professionals, who obtain 50% of their daily income. Nutritional needs of an athlete, who weighs 80 kg.Athletes lose so much of energy and water, while running / any other sports activities or games.So it is very important for them to maintain their nutritional needs. Fluid calculation : The fluid needs, of an athlete will vary due to differences in sweat rates amongst athletes.The best way to know, how much fluid to drink during exercise is to, calculate the sweat rate to know how much fluid is lost before activity and after activity.Once the sweat rate is calculated the athlete will know, how much water to drink.To know the most accurate sweat rate, the following steps should be followed :Before the workout, the athlete should hydrate oneself (light colored urine), being not adequately hydrated / dehydrated will affect normal sweat rate.Take a body weight before the workout.Than after exercising an hour, the athlete will record the weight.Because during this one hour workout, and refraining from drinking fluids, this will affect sweat rate. If the athlete drinks water, in between the exercise it has to be weighed to determine the difference.After workout the athlete will take body weight and calculate the difference between pre and post exercise. If water is consumed during exercise subtract the water weight from the post exercise weight.Every 2.2 pounds a person loses equates to 1 liter of fluid loss (sweat loss). For example, if someone loses 5 pounds in 1 hour their sweat rate is 5/2.2 = 2.27 liters/hour.Equation to calculate sweat in athletes :pre exercise body weight – post exercise body weight + fluid intake – urine volume /exercise time in hours. During intense exercise lasting longer than 1 hour, it is recommended that carbohydrates be ingested at a rate of 30-60 gm / hour.This is done, to maintain oxidation of carbohydrates and delay fatigue. The carbohydrates, consumed can be sugars (glucose or sucrose) or starch (e.g., maltodextrin). I hope, i am clear.Thank you very much.
