Best Answer

The athlete may run the 100 meters race in 10 to 12.5 seconds. He may not take single breath in such a short time. Lot of lactic acid may be produced in the process. He needs that extra glucose for his brain and body. Glucose probably help to revert the lactic acid to pyruvic acid.

Where can one buy blood glucose meters?

A glucose meter (or glucometer) is a medical device for determining the approximate concentration of glucose in the blood. It is a key element of home blood glucose monitoring (HBGM) by people with diabetes mellitus or hypoglycemia. A small drop of blood, obtained by pricking the skin with a lancet, is placed on a disposable test strip that the meter reads and uses to calculate the blood glucose level. The meter then displays the level in mg/dl or mmol/l.
