Four-phase EIGS and GIS during exercise assessment and management procedures. Elemental sachets: carbohydrate (CHO) = 60 g, protein (Pro) = 20 g, Energy = 325 kcal, Fat = 0 g, Fibre < 1 g, FODMAP: < 1 g. Ax, assessment; GastroAxEx, gastrointestinal assessment during exercise; GIS, gastrointestinal symptoms; HR, heart rate; RPE, rating of perceived exertion; TCR, thermal comfort rating; Tre, rectal temperature. Intervention based on original research providing evidence of positive outcomes, and avoiding those showing evidence of neutral to negative outcomes, on markers of EIGS (e.g., functional, integrity, and systemic markers) and GIS during exercise (Costa et al., 2017b, 2020b).
