Abstract in brief

  • The results showed that carbohydrate intake did not significantly improve muscle soreness, perceived exertion, workout performance, or metabolic markers like lactate and heart rate, although glucose levels increased during the session.
  • Overall, consuming carbs during CrossFit sessions doesn't seem to provide noticeable benefits in recovery or performance based on this trial.
