Should she load up on carbs before weight training?
From a recent scientific article:
“Highlights
•The metabolic glycolytic response to resistance exercise is diverse and likely most attributable to volume, duration, and intensity of effort.
•Low muscle glycogen may not impair all resistance exercise performance, but increasing blood glucose before exercise may enhance higher-volume, longer-duration performance.
•Carbohydrate-restricted hypocaloric diets are effective for reducing fat mass during resistance exercise, but carbohydrate-sufficient hypercaloric diets are likely optimal for inducing muscle hypertrophy.
