Research & Writing

A meta-analysis investigating whether carbohydrate ingestion during endurance exercise reduces net skeletal muscle glycogen use, and identifying potential moderating factors.

We show that durability of the moderate-to-heavy intensity transition can be predicted using readily available markers of physiological decoupling during prolonged exercise.

We demonstrate that carbohydrate ingestion during prolonged cycling improves durability of the moderate-to-heavy-intensity transition. This has implications for training programming and load monitoring.
