Carbohydrates provide a readily available energy source for the body, particularly important for athletes to replenish glycogen stores after exercise. This aids in muscle recovery and prepares the body for future activity.
Carbohydrates are broken down into glucose, which is the body's primary source of energy. This glucose is then used to fuel various bodily functions, including muscle contraction during exercise. After exercise, carbohydrate consumption helps replenish glycogen stores in the muscles and liver, aiding in recovery and preparing the body for subsequent activity. The speed of glycogen replenishment depends on the type of carbohydrate consumed, with simpler carbohydrates generally being absorbed and utilized more quickly.
