The challenge of healthy eating! <\/strong><\/p>\n

Complex or simple sugars? Water or juice? Our sports performance and our health depend on our food choices! Youths will achieve this by participating in an actual research where they are the actors! We will determine the effect of the hydration level and different sugars on their sports performance. Afterwards, a summary of their results will be provided and available to you. An excellent way to recognize the impact of our eating habits!<\/p>\n

The next two workshops can be cahttps:\/\/www.profaqua.ca\/wp-admin\/edit.php?post_type=product&orderby=title&order=ascrried out in the school\u2019s gymnasium in two weeks or in two physical education classes. <\/em><\/p>\n

The food needed for the workshop involving the carbohydrate test is given during the fluids test.<\/em><\/p>\n

1) Fluids test<\/strong> (60 min)<\/p>\n

The test is composed of four groups with different hydration levels (water, sports drink, diet fruit juice and no hydration). Which group will be the most effective in our space shuttle challenges?<\/p>\n

2) Complex carbohydrates test<\/strong> (complex sugar – 60 min)<\/p>\n

Two groups are created: the first group is the control group with a regular diet or, with the parents\u2019 consent, an unhealthy diet (pizza and hamburgers); the second is the experimental group with a diet rich in complex carbohydrates more commonly known as complex sugars (Profaqua<\/strong> provides a pasta meal the evening before the activity, an oatmeal breakfast and a cereal bar for a snack). The physical performances of both groups will then be assessed through physical exercises (sit-ups, pushups, lunges, etc.).<\/p>\n
