Carbo-loading
Before an event it can help to eat in preparation. By carbo loading (increasing the carbohydrate content of our diets to 70-90 per cent of food consumed), we can store more glycogen, which can be used in the event. Carbo-loading will charge up your muscles with glycogen. Glycogen is a key energy source, which your muscles use during most sports activities.
Carbo-loading can radically improve performance. As we get fitter and muscle density increases our bodies can store more glycogen.
