What kind of help you are looking for: Is it effective to drink glucose injection half an hour before running a kilometer?
Doctor's answer:
Glucose injection primarily consists of glucose. The body begins to metabolize it about half an hour after consumption, at which point blood sugar levels gradually increase.Advice: An increase in blood sugar levels does not provide sustained energy for muscle activity. During a one-kilometer long-distance run, muscles mainly rely on anaerobic respiration. As long as you do not feel hungry, a slight decrease in blood sugar has little significance for running a kilometer. Moreover, drinking glucose injection will leave a large amount of liquid in the stomach, which is not conducive to long-distance running. Therefore, it is not advisable to consume glucose injection before a long-distance run.
