When we eat back the calories that was already been burnt, Braun explained that, it will only bring new risks, which is a heart disease. Then, why the athletes are actually doing the opposite? “Because the purpose of exercise for an athlete is different from ordinary people”. Not only keeps the body healthy, but also there is an element of competition in it. That’s why they always got a different advice than us.
On the first phase of the research, the participants were asked to do walking exercise on a treadmill for an hour a day so that 500 calories could be burned. Then, the respondents were divided into two groups. The first group was given high-calorie drinks just after completing the exercise. The second group was given only water. The exercise that they were doing was successfully suppressing the insulin levels up to 40 percent.
However, these benefits are disappear instantly when the first group is consume that energy drinks. This makes Braun and his team become wondered whether this occurs because the type of calorie drinks that are provided. Therefore, a second study was conducted then. The respondents were asked to pedal a bike for 75 minutes and shortly after that, the first group was asked to enjoy the high-carbohydrate foods. While the second group was given low-carbohydrates food, but with the same number of calories like the first group.
