Plasma Glucose Levels after Prolonged Strenuous Exercise Correlate Inversely with Glycemic Response to Food Consumed before Exercise
in International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise MetabolismIt was hypothesized that slowly digested carbohydrates, that is, low glycemic index (GI) foods, eaten before prolonged strenuous exercise would increase the blood glucose concentration toward the end of exercise. Six trained cyclists pedaled on a cycle ergometer at 65-70%
