Question
multiple choice question a possible detrimental effect relative to carbohydrate loading is: extra body weight. decreased body weight. decreased liver glycogen stores.
Carbohydrate loading involves increasing carbohydrate intake, which leads to increased glycogen storage. Glycogen binds to water, so this can result in extra body weight due to water retention from the stored glycogen. Decreased body weight is not a result of carb loading, and carb loading aims to increase (not decrease) glycogen stores.
