Design a diet for an endurance athlete who wants to carbohydrate load.
What will be an ideal response?
WILL VARY depending on chosen athlete…
The classic method of carbohydrate loading depleted muscle glycogen stores with 3 days of heavy training and a very low carbohydrate diet. This was followed by 3 days of high carbohydrate intake and rest to promote muscle glycogen synthesis. This classic method often left athletes exhausted and prone to injuries during the first 3 days. A modified method tapers off training intensity and duration on consecutive days after a bout of glycogen-depleting exercise 6 days before competition. During the first 3 days of tapering, the athlete consumes a normal mixed diet, followed by a high carbohydrate diet 3 days before competition.
