Ingestion of carbohydrate (CHO) before exercise and after exercise enhances
subsequent endurance exercise capacity when compared to a fasting state. However,
the optimal type of CHO meal to be consumed is still unclear. Glycaemic and
insulinaemic responses to a meal during the postprandial period may play an
important role in subsequent exercise metabolism and performance. This thesis
examined the influence of ingesting high and low glycaemic index (GI) CHO meals three hours before exercise and during four-hour recovery on substrate metabolism and exercise
capacity in men. [Continues.]
