Carb Loading: Nutrition for Mountain Biking
One of the most common practices to improve athletic performance
is through nutrition for mountain biking.
Athletes who participate in endurance riding know about getting
nutrition for mountain biking by storing extra energy in the
muscle tissue for endurance riding.
The right nutrition for mountain biking is essential for
endurance riding and is commonly referred to as "carb loading."
Glucose is the fuel the body extracts from the breaking down of
carbohydrates.
The glucose, called glycogen, is stored in the liver and muscle
tissue.
The more glucose (bloodstream) and glycogen (muscle tissue) the
body can access when in endurance situations the longer the
muscles will continue performing at an optimal level and avoid
fatigue.
The newest scientific findings suggest that athletes should eat
a diet of 70 percent carbohydrates three days prior to an event,
and physical workouts should get shorter prior to an event.
The increased carbohydrates should come from reducing protein
and fat and not by simply increasing caloric content otherwise
weight gain can result.
A diet of
higher intake of carbohydrates should be only
temporary as an extended high carbohydrate diet decreases other
essential nutrients.
