Kinesiology doctoral students Patrick Wilson, Chris Lundstrom, and Greg Rhodes, along with their advisor, Stacy Ingraham, Ph.D., have published an article in the, International Journal of Sport Nutrition & Exercise Metabolism.
The article titled, “Dietary tendencies as Predictors of Marathon Time In Novice Marathoners,” was designed to examine the effects of dietary factors such as carbohydrates on performance in novice marathon runners. They found that consuming a high amount of carbohydrates 24-36 hours before running a marathon is associated with a faster marathon time.
