The Potential of Low Glycemic Index Meals as a Factor to Enhance Endurance and to Prevent of Injury in Athlete: Review Journal

Abstract

Endurance is the ability of athlete can do some works to be efficiency and effective in long time where the athlete can feel without more exhausted. The objective of this review is to describe the studies that showed evidence of LGI to improve endurance performance athlete where can neglect accident of injury. Some studies reveal the idea to highlight evidence that LGI meal will give more effect to reduce lactate acid in blood glucose where endurance athlete is more stable than HGI meal. This review also provide the information of benefic LGI meal for health athlete and propose program mechanism LGI meal for people.      Key teaching points:Low Glycemic Index (LGI) is carbohydrate ingestion 45 min prior to exercise will improve performance of endurance. Low Glycemic Index (LGI) is ingestion of LGI showed in a more stable insulinemic and glycemic response. Low Glycemic Index showed the total amount of glucose oxidized was higher in HGI (High Glycemic Index) than LGI
