Carbohydrate (CHO) loading, commonly referred to as carb-loading, or carbo-loading, is a strategy used by endurance athletes, such as marathoners and triathletes, to reduce fatigue during an endurance event. While carbohydrates should be consumed both during and after an event, carb-loading is specifically referring to the consumption of carbohydrates before the event.
