TI  - Glycemic index--a new tool in sport nutrition?
PG  - 401-15
AB  - The glycemic index (GI) provides a way to rank foods rich in carbohydrate (CHO) 
      according to the glucose response following their intake. Consumption of low-GI 
      CHO foods may attenuate the insulin-mediated metabolic disturbances associated 
      with CHO intake in the hours prior to exercise, better maintaining CHO 
      availability. However, there is insufficient evidence that athletes who consume a 
      low-GI CHO-rich meal prior to a prolonged event will gain clear performance 
      benefits. The ingestion of CHO during prolonged exercise promotes CHO 
      availability and enhances endurance and performance, and athletes usually chose 
      CHO-rich foods and drinks of moderate to high GI to achieve this goal. Moderate- 
      and high-GI CHO choices appear to enhance glycogen storage after exercise 
      compared with low GI CHO-rich foods. However, the reason for this is not clear. A 
      number of attributes of CHO-rich foods may be of value to the athlete including 
      the nutritional value of the food or practical issues such as palatability, 
      portability, cost gastric comfort, or ease of preparation.
