Photo By Brian Drake NEW STUDY SHOWS LOWER CARBOHYDRATE INTAKE IMPROVES ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE AND CHOLESTEROL LEVELS An eight week research study at Peppcrdi ne Un i versi ty to be publ ished in the January issue o f Sports M edi- cine.Training, and Rehabilitation has concluded that«a lower carbohydrate diet may have significant performance benefits fo r athletes as well as raise levels o f H D L , the “ good” choles terol. T w o groups o f trained runners were tested while fo llo w in g either a typical athlete’ s high carbohydrate diet, or a high protein diet based on the newly-introduced Balance N u tri tion Bar. In 25 kilom eter performance runs — the first 20 km at comfortable training pace, the last 5 km at race pace - runners on the Balance diet showed a 7.5% improvement in the last 5k over their pace in the first 20 km. Those on the high carbohydrate diet achieved only a 2.1% improve ment over their in itia l pace. T re a d m ill testing and blood analysis o f the runners at 5 km inter vals during the run indicated that the Balance runners received a higher proportion o f their energy from fat. Many experts believe that better u tili zation o f fat spares muscle glycogen.
