Carbohydrates are macronutrients and are the major source of energy and muscle gain.
Explanation:
- Muscle glycogen which is the store house of carbohydrates, is depleted as exercise increases. Endurance and high intensity performance can be increased with the help of extra storage of carbohydrates in the muscle and liver. It is called as glycogen.
- Hence, carbohydrates are needed more by athletes than a common man. Proteins are large and complex molecules and are made up of amino acids which are linked together by peptide bonds. Functional proteins help in absorbing glucose and using it for energy.
- Also, proteins enhance glycogen restoration. Hence, proteins are needed more by athletes than a common man.
