Performance in sport is reliant upon the effective delivery and utilization of fuel substrates to meet metabolic demand. The need for effective carbohydrate and muscle glycogen metabolism is undeniable when high performance is required. With a better understanding of carbohydrate metabolism, a clinician is positioned to make efficacious recommendations that meet the carbohydrate requirements of their athletes. Daily carbohydrate fueling strategies that can modulate muscle glycogen, as well as sport specific (power and endurance sport) fuelling requirements are discussed.
