Waggener GT, Kwon I, Wiley L, Lee Y, Nichols IH, Haymes, E. The Effect of a Low Glycemic vs. High Glycemic Pre-Exercise Meal in Recreationally Trained Endurance Cyclists. JEPonline 2016;19 (2):91-98. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of two iso-kilocaloric (837.2 kJ) pre-exercise meals: a low glycemic meal (LGM) vs. a high glycemic meal (HGM) and a placebo meal in recreational cyclists on endurance cycling. After a 2-d high carbohydrate diet and abstention from exercise, 18 healthy recreationally trained male subjects aged 18 to 35 yrs with a VO2 max of 3.94 ± 0.6 L·min-1 participated in this within-subject design study. Each of three rides consisted of 2 hr of cycling exercise at 55% VO2 max followed by a brief 30 min rest and a moderately high intensity ride to exhaustion at 80% VO2 max. The LGM did not exert a greater ergogenic effect in this study when compared to the isokilocaloric HGM. While the effect was not statistically significant, the HGM meal outperformed the LGM and the placebo on time to exhaustion. A fiber-free, glucose-derived meal may be superior to a low glycemic fiber-free whole meal in supporting moderately high intensity exercise in some highly motivated recreationally trained endurance athletes.

Although, it is known that feeding with carbohydrate (CHO) during exercise improves endurance performance, the effects of glycemic index (GI ) of carbohydrate intake are less clear. This study was carried out to assess the effect of glycemic index of pre-exercise carbohydrate feeding on endurance exercise capacity. In...

Background and purpose: The importance of adequate dietary carbohydrate for optimal physical performance has long been recognized, but changes in glycemic index and glycemic load of pre-exercise meal might also influence physical exercise and the pattern of substrate utilization during exercise. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of two meals with high or low glycemic load 3 hour...

Abstract Background and Objective: Carbohydrates are considered as the major source of energy in physical activity. Studies show that consumption of carbohydrate foods before exercise can balance blood glucose and free fatty acids and increase athletes’ performance. In this study , we compared the effect of three kinds of foods with different glycemic indices on blood glucose (BG) and se...

Endurance athletes rarely compete in the fasted state, as this may compromise fuel stores. Thus, the timing and composition of the pre-exercise meal is a significant consideration for optimizing metabolism and subsequent endurance performance. Carbohydrate feedings prior to endurance exercise are common and have generally been shown to enhance performance, despite increasing insulin levels and ...

This study examined the effect of ingesting 3 isocaloric meals with different glycemic indices (GI) and glycemic loads (GL) 2 hr before exercise on metabolic responses and endurance running performance. Eight male runners completed 3 trials in a randomized order, separated by at least 7 days. Carbohydrate (CHO) content (%), GI, and GL were, respectively, 65%, 79, and 82 for the high-GI/high-GL ...
