Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The transition period consists of no physical training, so there is no need for specific recommendations on fluid and carbohydrate intake for exercise. The other months in the training year involve either preparation, competition, or general/specific training with a focus on endurance, power, and strength, which would make hydration and fueling strategies more relevant. Additionally, the athlete's goal to maintain body composition suggests a need for careful monitoring and management of calorie intake throughout the year.
