AB  - The purpose of the present study was to examine the influence of high 
      carbohydrate (CHO) diets on recovery of endurance capacity following a treadmill 
      run to exhaustion. Two high CHO diets were used, one in which the normal diet was 
      supplemented with complex carbohydrates and the other in which supplementation 
      was achieved with simple carbohydrates. The thirty recreational runners who took 
      part in this study (fifteen men and fifteen women) completed weighed food intake 
      diaries two to three weeks before the start of the study. From an analysis of 
      this information each subject's 'normal diet' was prescribed before Trial 1 and 
      then a supplemented diet before Trial 2. The aim was to achieve an increase in 
      carbohydrate content to 70% in the diets of the two high CHO groups and an 
      equivalent increase in energy intake by the Control group. The subjects were 
      required to run to exhaustion on a treadmill at a speed equivalent to 70% VO2max 
      on two occasions separated by 3 days. After Trial 1 the subjects were divided 
      into three equal groups. The Complex CHO group (301 +/- 86 mg vs 507 +/- 120 mg) 
      and Simple CHO group (265 +/- 45 mg vs 462 +/- 81 mg) increased their CHO intake 
      by approximately 70% (p less than 0.05) during the 3 days before Trial 2 whereas 
      the Control group increased their energy intake with additional protein and fat 
      so as to match the energy intakes of the two CHO groups.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT
