Title: Glycemic Index and Sports Performance
This week we are looking at sports driven nutrition. All exercise need carbohydrate as a fuel. As you learned from reading the chapter on carbohydrates, there are many types of carbohydrates from simple, like sugar, to complex, like fiber. Another way to look at carbohydrate is the spike in blood glucose after we eat food containing carbohydrate. The glycemic index and glycemic load are built off this concept. To learn more, go to the following website: http://www.glycemicindex.com/
For this forum, we will discuss the efficacy of the glycemic index for athletes. Find one research article on the glycemic index and exercise or athletic performance. Be sure the article you present, investigated the effect of different glycemic diets on endurance or performance. This forum is not about glycemic control of blood glucose or the glycemic index and diabetes or obesity.
In your initial Forum post:
- list your selected article
- provide the reference for your chosen article
- describe the study and the results
- state what the study concludes
- evaluate the article. Do you think the study made appropriate conclusions from its data? Was the study designed correctly to address the hypothesis?
- Finally, provide your opinion on the matter. Be sure to justify your position.
