For athletes who compete in continuous,intense aerobic events lasting for 90 to 120 minutes (or shorter events repeated in 24 hours),________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Carbohydrate-loading before an endurance event lasting 90-120 minutes or shorter events repeated in 24 hours can provide the necessary fuel for the muscles to perform at their best. It involves increasing carbohydrate intake in the days leading up to the event to top off the glycogen stores in the muscles. Carnitine supplements are not necessary for athletes who consume adequate amounts of dietary fat and are able to use it effectively as fuel during exercise. Large doses of bicarbonate can cause gastrointestinal distress and are not recommended. Caffeine-containing foods and beverages can enhance performance, but athletes should be careful not to consume too much as it can lead to jitters, increased heart rate, and dehydration.
