AB  - The authors aimed to quantify (a) the periodization of physical loading and daily 
      carbohydrate (CHO) intake across an in-season weekly microcycle of Australian 
      Football and (b) the quantity and source of CHO consumed during game play and 
      training. Physical loading (via global positioning system technology) and daily 
      CHO intake (via a combination of 24-hr recall, food diaries, and remote food 
      photographic method) were assessed in 42 professional male players during two 
      weekly microcycles comprising a home and away fixture. The players also reported 
      the source and quantity of CHO consumed during all games (n = 22 games) and on 
      the training session completed 4 days before each game (n = 22 sessions). The 
      total distance was greater (p < .05) on game day (GD; 13 km) versus all training 
      days. The total distance differed between training days, where GD-2 (8 km) was 
      higher than GD-1, GD-3, and GD-4 (3.5, 0, and 7 km, respectively). The daily CHO 
      intake was also different between training days, with reported intakes of 1.8, 
      1.4, 2.5, and 4.5 g/kg body mass on GD-4, GD-3, GD-2, and GD-1, respectively. The 
      CHO intake was greater (p < .05) during games (59 +/- 19 g) compared with training 
      (1 +/- 1 g), where in the former, 75% of the CHO consumed was from fluids as 
      opposed to gels. Although the data suggest that Australian Football players 
      practice elements of CHO periodization, the low absolute CHO intakes likely 
      represent considerable underreporting in this population. Even when accounting 
      for potential underreporting, the data also suggest Australian Football players 
      underconsume CHO in relation to the physical demands of training and competition.
