Studies have proven in the past and are now recommended to athletes to take some sufficient quantities of sugar before they go for their performance. It is suggested to have sugar 30 or 40 minutes before the activity is started.

The reason behind why sugar is recommended for athletes is that sugar constituents in your blood can sufficiently boost and provide you the required energy at the time when some other energy sources are tired to supply. It is not wise to employ this method right away in the competition since some might not get the desired result when it is most needed.
