Spaghetti before the big race: Effects of carbohydrate loading on athletic performance
In summary, the benefits of CHO loading regimens are still unclear. CHO loading has been shown to both increase endurance and work output as well as to attenuate endurance due to hyperinsulinemia. Conflicting results between studies indicate the complexity of the mechanisms involved in carbohydrate metabolism in relation to exercise. While diet certainly plays an important role athletic performance, the "ideal" diet for any sport still cannot be determined.
