Any physical activity, but
especially intense exercise, requires a recovery period. After
high performance activity, the body recovers in three distinct
phases. Rapid recovery phase begins immediately after the
exercise and lasts roughly 30 minutes. In the phase, the
metabolic rate returns to pre-exercise levels. It is followed by
intermediate recovery phase, which lasts between 90 minutes to
two hours. During this phase, the body begins to restore fluids
by a process called rehydration. This is the most critical phase
of recovery, which requires intake of carbohydrates. To
facilitate rehydration, carbohydrates should be ingested as soon
after an event or training session. Finally, in the longer phase
of recovery, which can last from two to 20 hours, carbohydrate
replenishment continues. It is during this longer phase recovery
that the damage done to the muscle by heavy exercise is
repaired.
Just as recovery and muscle repair both are
important, carbohydrate ingestion ensures that event fatigue
does not set in. Training and post-exercise nutrition are
essential for consistent performance, but to prevent and delay
event fatigue carbohydrate replenishment is equally important.
This is achieved by high carbohydrate consumption in the days
immediately preceding the event. This is also referred to as
carbohydrate loading. Carbohydrate loading helps athletes to
avoid "hitting the wall." Therefore, high carbohydrate regimen
yields greatest benefits for endurance athletes. These athletes
include long-distance swimmers, cross-country skiers, soccer
players, long-distance runners (especially marathoners),,
triathletes and, among others, long-distance bicyclists. In
general, carbohydrate replenishment in most effective for any
athletes who participates in an event lasting more than 90
minutes.
