FAQ

If there is a major, unbalanced sweat loss, your blood volume decreases. The blood becomes more viscous and the oxygen transport to your muscles is reduced. Already from a sweat loss of more than 2% of your body weight, your body therefore limits its performance.

Depending on the type of sport, indoor or outdoor and under very warm conditions, your sweat flow can be up to 4 liters per hour.

We will take all the parameters into account to get the most individual support as possible. In our App you can figure out your individual sweat profile.

With our eDiagnostics BIKE and RUN we can determine your performance data, such as:

• VO2max
• VLamax
• training zones
• Carbohydrate & fat curve
• Threshold power

In short: If you don't take in carbohydrates during your race you lose a lot of power and time towards the end of the race.

With our eDiagnostics we can elaborate your individual pacing strategy for race day. You will get the information when you have to take in which amount of carbohydrates.

You will get even better fueling recommendations based on your real values by easily integrating the test into your training to determine your individual carbohydrate requirements.

In order for us to correctly assign your eDiagnostic, you must always perform the workout currently pushed on your device.

Your carbohydrate combustion is the connection between your recommended carbohydrate intake and your power output, depending on your training level, your current threshold, VO2max and much more.

We can show you how much carbohydrates you'll need aligned to your current power output.

For your raceday, we will create a 100% customized fueling and pacing strategy based on your own and individual data.

Knowing your carbohydrate combustion is useful in order to ensure your fueling during training and on raceday. Every second athlete is using the wrong nutrition and hydration strategy because they simply follow rules of thumb.

A carbohydrate test is the first step towards an individually adapted nutrition plan.
It's simple: if you know how much you burn, you know what to substitute.

BESTZEIT Experts tip: You'll also be able to pace your race knowing your carbohydrate combustion.

We recommend to do your eDiagnostic at the beginning of your training cycle before your main / high intense training phase as you come closer to race day.

The perfect timing for your last eDiagnostic would be 2-3 weeks before your final raceday.

In order for us to determine your carbohydrate needs we ask your to perform an eDiagnostic to find out your anaerobic capacity as well as a 3 step test to collect information about your VO2max, your threshold power and many more metrics. After you have performed your eDiagnostic in the app, we analyze them and you receive a notification in the app with detailed results.

In our Basic, Medium and Pro Plan we provide you with personalized fueling & pacing strategies that are also adapted to race conditions such as course profile and climate, so you can get everything out of yourself without hunger pangs and cramps.

Based on your sweat profile and Sweat Pack & eDiagnostic results, we will develop a fueling & pacing strategy tailored to you for each of your races.

In each of our plans or after registration you have 30 days to use the BESTZEIT app free of charge and to test all functions.

Depending on your needs, we offer additional services - among others plans, e.g. the PRO plan, where you only have to take care of the training, we take care of the catering.

The app supports you with your fueling & pacing. The basis for this is your sweat profile and your Sweat Pack & eDiagnostics results. From this, we develop a fueling & pacing strategy tailored to you for each of your races.
