 Hi, I'm Philip Hoffman, I'm the Director of Tennis and Strength and Conditioning here with Fit2HIP and I work with professional athletes for a living. Today I want to talk with you guys a little bit about carbohydrates. Did you ever feel sluggish on the core and almost passed out doing a match? That's because you know you have low blood sugar, which basically means you don't have enough carbs in your system. Now carbohydrates consist of three categories, which all depends on the length of the carbohydrate molecule. Now we've got mono-saccharides, diasecarides and polysaccharides. Now mono-saccharides are also known as simple sugars. You'll find that in your sodas or candy bars, things like that, which is basically glucose and also referred to as blood sugar. Two other forms are fructose and galactose, but nobody really cares about that. Then next form we've got diasecarides. Diasecarides are basically two mono-saccharides combined into one, that's all that is. Last but not least, we have the polysaccharides. Polysaccharides are a long chain of carbs, basically of mono-saccharides, all put together. It's also referred to as complex carbohydrates and we have three items in that category. It's basically glycogen, starches and fibers. That's it. Well, that's it again for today's episode. As usual opinions differ. What's your point of view? Let us know below in the comment section. A brand new episode will be available next Sunday. So make sure you don't miss it and subscribe. In the meantime, I recommend you watch some of the previous episodes.
