Carb loading is a nutritional strategy most often used by endurance athletes to increase stored energy in the form of glycogen for better performance. Carbohydrates, which provide the glycogen, are consumed in high amounts a few days or directly ahead of a competition or training session. Usually, this practice is combined with reduced activity to better preserve the glycogen stores being created.
