fructose and athletic performance

Fructose is a type of sugar commonly found in fruits and certain sweeteners. It is a source of energy for the body, specifically the muscles during exercise. When consumed in moderate amounts, fructose can contribute to athletic performance by providing quick and easily accessible fuel for the muscles, helping to sustain endurance and enhance overall performance. However, excessive intake of fructose can lead to negative effects on athletic performance, such as gastrointestinal discomfort and impaired recovery.
