carbohydrate loading and body composition

Carbohydrate loading refers to the practice of increasing one's intake of carbohydrates before an athletic event or prolonged exercise to maximize glycogen stores in the muscles. Body composition, on the other hand, refers to the proportions of fat, muscle, and other tissues that make up a person's body. The relationship between carbohydrate loading and body composition lies in the potential impact of increased carbohydrate intake on the overall distribution of fat and muscle in the body.
