Title: Glycemic Index and Sports Performance
This week we are looking at sports-driven nutrition. All exercises need carbohydrates as fuel. As you learned from reading the chapter on carbohydrates, there are many types of carbohydrates from simple, like sugar, to complex, like fiber. Another way to look at carbohydrates is the spike in blood glucose after we eat food containing carbohydrates. The glycemic index and glycemic load are built off this concept. To learn more, go to the following website: Glycemic Index. http://www.glycemicindex.com/
For this discussion, we will discuss the efficacy of the glycemic index for athletes. Find one peer-reveiwed research article on the glycemic index and exercise or athletic performance. Be sure the article you present, investigated the effect of different glycemic diets on endurance or performance. This discussion is not about glycemic control of blood glucose or the glycemic index and diabetes or obesity.
