Fuelled or Fooled?

Our latest Sports Medicine paper examines the evidence for ultra-high carbohydrate intake in endurance sport.

Bottom line: promising in theory, but current evidence is insufficient to support broad recommendations for most athletes.

It's finally here! You can now pre-order our HRV book on Amazon. It'sbeen a long time coming, and very thankful for the work we've done with my amazing co-authors. Marco Altini, Sylvain Laborde and Emma Mosley.

Can carbs during exercise spare muscle glycogen?
Yes,but barely. Our new meta-analysis (31 studies) shows CHO intake = a small reduction in muscle glycogen use (~20–25 mmol·kg⁻¹ over ~110 min).
No effect of: carb dose, timing, type, exercise mode, starting glycogen.
