glycemic index and physical performance
Glycemic index refers to a scale that measures how quickly and significantly a carbohydrate-containing food impacts blood sugar levels compared to pure glucose. Physical performance, on the other hand, refers to the ability of an individual to meet the physical demands of activities or exercises. The two concepts are linked because consuming foods with a high glycemic index prior to physical activity can influence energy levels, endurance, and overall performance during exercise.
