Abstract
Carbohydrates as you probably know are the body's most instant form of energy, particularly for exercise. In the post- prandial state, circulating glucose comes primarily from diet, while during fasting it is gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis maintaining glucose. Under conditions like preexercise feeding, ingestion of carbohydrate-rich food such as rice or pasta has been known to increase blood glucose concentrations and energy availability during exercise. The purpose of this study was to determine the glycemic response to a 100-m sprint in athletes with different carbohydrate intakes. The main purpose of the study was to evaluate and compare blood glucose concentrations at rest, 30 minutes after ingestion, by different doses of glucose D and after a 100 m sprint. Males 15–25 years old were the subjects whose response to 25g, 50g, and 75g of glucose D were evaluated in this study. The results show that the baseline blood glucose concentrations rose after glucose intake, to a maximum observed at 75 g ingested. Post sprint, blood glucose levels decreased significantly at 50g intake level. There were also significant differences for the 50g and 75g intakes post-exercise, whereas no effect was found following 25g intake.
