Textbook Question
Chapter 34, Problem 13RQ
Many distance runners “carb load” the day before a big race. How does this eating strategy provide an advantage to the runner?
- The carbohydrates cause the release of insulin.
- The excess carbohydrates are converted to fats, which have a higher calorie density.
- The glucose from the carbohydrates lets the muscles make excess ATP overnight
- The excess carbohydrates can be stored in the muscles as glycogen.
