Effect of glycemic index of pre-exercise meals on fat and carbohydrate oxidation
This study investigated the effects of consuming a high or low glycemic index (GI) meal, matched for volume, on fat and carbohydrate oxidation during exercise. Five male endurance runners (age: 22.4 ± 1.1; BMI: 22.1 ± 1.1kg/m2; VO2max: 53.7 ± 5.8ml/kg/m) participated in two trials in a randomized, c...
