Effects of Carbohydrates Supplementation and Physical Exercise: A Review | Chapter 9 | Challenges in Disease and Health Research Vol. 7

 Carbohydrates are by far the most common biomolecule on the planet. They are critical for muscle contraction during long-duration moderate-intensity exercise and short-duration high-intensity exercise [1,2]. A large number of studies have been conducted on the ergogenic effects of dietary capital in sports performance [3]. Carbohydrates are essential for muscle contraction during sustained moderate-intensity exercise and short-duration high-intensity exercise. Based on this data, this article aims to review the physiological and biochemical concepts and meanings of carbohydrates; look for a link between carbohydrate consumption and daily studies; and primarily examine the links between carbohydrate consumption and physical efficiency, before, throughout, and after competition. To perform the review, a broad search for papers and scientific studies was conducted first, and then the results were filtered using the most recent articles. Athlete strength has a direct impact on his physical output [4]. The amount of stored glycogen increases during the pre-competition period, preventing depletion [5]. During competition, supplementation is used to replace missing fluids and carbohydrates [6]. It is important to rehydrate, replenish glycogen reserves, and restore electrolyte balance after a competition [3]. Literature reviews have been studied as significant connectors in the advancement of science. More studies should be conducted to determine the optimal carbohydrate intake for each sport.
