The aim of training is to achieve optimum performance on the day of competition via three processes or paradigms; training hard to create the required training stimulus, training smart to maximize adaptations to the training stimulus, and training specifically to fine- turn the behaviors or physiology needed for competition strategies. Dietary strategies for competition must target the factors that would otherwise cause fatigue during the event, promoting an enhancement of performance by…

Carbohydrates and fat for training and recovery
- BiologyJournal of sports sciences

Although there is new interest in the recovery of intramuscular triglyceride stores between training sessions, there is no evidence that diets which are high in fat and restricted in carbohydrate enhance training.
Fueling strategies to optimize performance: training high or training low?
- EducationScandinavian journal of medicine & science in sports
- 2010
There is no clear evidence that increasing the muscle adaptive response and reducing the reliance on carbohydrate utilization during exercise enhance exercise performance, and the present literature is limited to studies of “twice a day” training or withholding carbohydrate intake during training sessions.

A comprehensive overview of recent research findings is provided and several new guidelines for the endurance athlete are suggested on the basis of this.
Timing and method of increased carbohydrate intake to cope with heavy training, competition and recovery.
- MedicineJournal of sports sciences
- 1991
This paper has proposed extraordinary dietary practices which generally advocate high carbohydrate intake at all times before, during and after exercise to have as much carbohydrate in the body as possible during the latter stages of prolonged intense exercise.
Training with low muscle glycogen enhances fat metabolism in well-trained cyclists.
- BiologyMedicine and science in sports and exercise
- 2010
Training with low muscle glycogen reduced training intensity and, in performance, was no more effective than training with high muscle glycogens, however, fat oxidation was increased after training with low Muscle glycogen, which may have been due to the enhanced metabolic adaptations in skeletal muscle.
Skeletal muscle adaptation and performance responses to once a day versus twice every second day endurance training regimens.
- BiologyJournal of applied physiology
- 2008
While selected markers of training adaptation were enhanced with twice a day training, the performance of a 1-h time trial undertaken after a 60-min steady-state ride was similar after once daily or twice every second day training programs.
Fat adaptation followed by carbohydrate loading compromises high-intensity sprint performance.

The HFD-CHO dietary strategy increased fat oxidation, but compromised high intensity sprint performance, possibly by increased sympathetic activation or altered contractile function.
Milk: the new sports drink? A Review

There is some evidence to suggest that milk may be an effective post-exercise beverage for endurance activities, and further research is warranted to better delineate the possible applications and efficacy of bovine milk in the field of sports nutrition.
Daily training with high carbohydrate availability increases exogenous carbohydrate oxidation during endurance cycling.
- BiologyJournal of applied physiology
- 2010
Changing total daily carbohydrate intake by providing or withholding carbohydrate during daily training in trained athletes results in differences in selected metabolic adaptations to exercise, including the oxidation of exogenous carbohydrate, but these metabolic changes do not alter the training-induced magnitude of increase in exercise performance.
Additive effects of training and high-fat diet on energy metabolism during exercise.
- BiologyJournal of applied physiology
- 1991
The most prominent finding provided by this study is that the diet-induced effects are cumulative with the well-known training effect on VO2max, exercise endurance, oxidative capacity of red muscle, and metabolic responses to exercise, with a further reduction in liver glycogen breakdown.
