carbohydrate timing and glycemic response in sports
Carbohydrate timing refers to the strategic consumption of carbohydrates before, during, and/or after physical activity in sports. This timing is aimed at optimizing glycemic response, which is the body's ability to regulate blood sugar levels in response to carbohydrate intake. By carefully planning carbohydrate intake in relation to exercise, athletes can better maintain energy levels, improve performance, and aid in post-workout recovery.
