Exogenous carbohydrate form during low-muscle glycogen conditions has minimal impact on cycling performance.

Key Points

• The research aims to assess how different forms of exogenous carbohydrates affect cycling performance when muscle glycogen levels are low.
• Conducted cycling time trials under glycogen compromised conditions.
• Administered various carbohydrate sources before exercise.
• Measured performance based on time trial results.
• Findings indicate minimal differences in performance across different carbohydrate forms.
• Every carbohydrate source used was effective in enhancing performance despite low glycogen.
