glycemic index and exercise endurance

The glycemic index (GI) refers to a ranking system that measures how quickly carbohydrates in food affect blood sugar levels. Higher GI foods raise blood sugar quickly, while lower GI foods cause a slower rise. Exercise endurance, on the other hand, pertains to the ability to engage in physical activity for extended periods without fatigue. The GI of foods can impact exercise endurance, as consuming low GI foods before exercise can provide a more sustained and steady release of energy, promoting better endurance during prolonged physical activity.
