Glycaemic index and sport

In a nutshell
The evidence that pre-exercise CHO should best be consumed as foods of low GI is not yet convincing.
For short term glycogen replacement post-exercise, on the other hand, higher GI intake seems to have some advantages.
Other dietary intake (such as total CHO, fluid and protein) may be more important than GI alone in affecting performance.
