Metabolic adaptation
Training with high carbohydrate availability increases exogenous glucose oxidation during endurance cycling from 54.6 to 63.6 g.
Endurance athletes may benefit from higher carbohydrate intake to enhance carbohydrate oxidation during training.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Tracer-derived estimates of exogenous glucose oxidation during 100SS in the glucose trial increased from 54.6 to 63.6 g (P < 0.01) in the High group with no change in the Low group.
Why this rating
Based on study design from abstract.
