Just as both recovery and muscle repair are important, carbohydrate ingestion ensures that event fatigue does not set in. Training and post-exercise nutrition are essential for consistent performance, but to prevent and delay event fatigue, carbohydrate replenishment is equally important. This replenishment, also called carbohydrate loading, is achieved by high carbohydrate consumption in the days immediately preceding the event. Carbohydrate loading helps athletes avoid “hitting the wall.” Therefore, a high carbohydrate regimen yields greatest benefits for endurance athletes. These athletes include long-distance swimmers, cross-country skiers, soccer players, long-distance runners (especially marathoners), triathletes and long-distance bicyclists. In general, carbohydrate replenishment is most effective for any athlete who participates in an event lasting more than 90 minutes.
