title: [Nutrition in long physical endurance events].
abstract: In recent years, there was a trend towards longlasting endurance events. The longer the competitions last, the more important nutrition and fluid replacement will be before, during, and after a race, because an inadequate supply reduces performance. Therefore, we summarize in this review the importance of carbohydrate and fat as well as the substitution of water and electrolytes concerning races of more than 4 hours duration.
