THE “ GOLDEN HOUR”

It is constantly preached that nutrition is the most important for everyday in motocross. The original thought was the getting the nutrients you needed within 1 hour, was sufficient for this anabolic time frame. The fact is, 55-65 minutes you are getting almost nothing.

Assuming that 15 minutes is 100% potential anabolic activity within the body, by 45 minutes, it has dropped by 30%. This “Golden” time frame is more like 15-30 minutes, after that drops off dramatically. This window within about 45-50 minutes. This time frame is based off of insulin sensitivity. After just 2 hours, the insulin sensitivity is back to what is considered normal. This is why both carbs and protein are vital at this time, especially a faster absorbing carbs like dextrose.
