posted on 2013-12-09, 09:45 authored by Shiou-Liang WeeCompared to the overnight fasted state, a high carbohydrate (CHO) breakfast 3-4 hours
before exercise enhances endurance performance. However, the optimal type or
composition of the pre-exercise meal to be consumed is less clear. Glycaemic and
insulinaemic responses to a meal play a key role in subsequent metabolism during exercise.
The investigations described in this thesis focused on the influence of I) the composition
and 2) glycaemic index (GI) of CHO breakfasts 3 hours before exercise on postprandial and
exercise metabolism and endurance running capacity [continued]…
