Schematic representation of the study methodology involving highly trained race walkers (n = 20 M, 3 F). The protocol consisted of a baseline phase involving 6 d of exposure to diet with high energy/CHO availability (HCHO), followed by a 9-d adaptation phase in which athletes were allocated to either HCHO or a diet of LEA. Before and after these dietary phases, the two groups of athletes undertook laboratory testing and a real-life 10,000-m race walking competition (Race) preceded by the same 1 d high-CHO glycogen loading diet.
