Exploring the Efficacy of Carbohydrate Loading Protocols

In this episode, Scott Tindal and Alan McCubbin discuss the implications of carbohydrate loading for endurance athletes. They focus on a 2002 study that examined the effectiveness of a one-day versus three-day carbohydrate loading protocol. They explore the study's findings on muscle glycogen storage, the relevance of these findings for both male and female athletes, and the practical considerations for implementing carbohydrate loading strategies.
