Following an application from Specialised Nutrition Europe (SNE), submitted for authorisation of a health claim pursuant to Article 13(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 via the Competent Authority of France, the EFSA Panel on Dietetic Products, Nutrition and Allergies (NDA) was asked to deliver an opinion on the scientific substantiation of a health claim related to carbohydrate solutions and contribute to the improvement of physical performance during a high-intensity and long-lasting physical exercise. The scope of the application was proposed to fall under a health claim based on newly developed scientific evidence. The food proposed by the applicant as the subject of the health claim is carbohydrate solutions containing glucose, mixtures of glucose and fructose, sucrose and/or maltodextrins. The Panel considers that carbohydrate solutions are sufficiently characterised in relation to the claimed effect. The claimed effect proposed by the applicant is 'contribute to the improvement of physical performance during a high-intensity and long-lasting physical exercise', which is considered by the Panel as a beneficial physiological effect. The Panel concludes that a cause and effect relationship has been established between the consumption of carbohydrate solutions and the improvement of physical performance during high-intensity and long-lasting physical exercise. The target population is healthy trained adults performing high-intensity (at least at 65% of the VO ) and long-lasting (at least 60 min) physical exercise.
应欧洲专业营养协会（SNE）依据欧盟第1924/2006号法规第13(5)条，通过法国主管当局提交的健康声称授权申请，欧洲食品安全局（EFSA）的营养产品、营养与过敏专家组（NDA）被要求就与碳水化合物溶液相关的健康声称的科学依据发表意见，并助力改善高强度持久体育锻炼期间的身体表现。该申请的范围拟归入基于新科学证据的健康声称。申请人提议作为健康声称主题的食品是含有葡萄糖、葡萄糖与果糖混合物、蔗糖和/或麦芽糊精的碳水化合物溶液。专家组认为，碳水化合物溶液就所声称的效果而言已有充分特征描述。申请人声称的效果是“有助于改善高强度持久体育锻炼期间的身体表现”，专家组认为这是一种有益的生理效果。专家组得出结论，已确立在高强度持久体育锻炼期间饮用碳水化合物溶液与改善身体表现之间的因果关系。目标人群是进行高强度（至少达到最大摄氧量的65%）持久（至少60分钟）体育锻炼的健康成年训练者。
