- Abstract
Traditional advice to athletes is to train with high carbohydrate availability at all times as this allows them to achieve high training volumes and enables them to train at the high intensities. However, recently a new approach has been introduced termed as carbohydrate periodization that involves performing certain training sessions with reduced muscle glycogen in order to augment training adaptations. Acute studies have shown that training strategy results in enhanced activation of certain enzymes, factors and co-factors that are responsible for mitochondrial biogenesis. However, results of long term training studies do not show unanimous results about effectiveness of such approach on endurance performance. This article summarises evidence for and against use of this approach and provides some recommendations for coaches and athletes.
