Carbohydrates for Athletes

Carbohydrates are one of the essential macronutrients, and a very important energy fuel for exercising athletes. The main source of energy for exercising muscles is carbohydrate - some comes from glucose in the blood and a larger amount from the glycogen stored in your muscles. The source of all these carbohydrates ultimately comes from your dietary intake.
