How can carb-loading strategies benefit endurance athletes before major events?

Carb-loading strategies benefit endurance athletes before major events by maximizing glycogen stores in the muscles and liver. By consuming higher amounts of carbohydrates in the days leading up to an event, athletes can enhance their endurance and performance, delay fatigue, and improve overall energy levels. This strategy ensures that athletes have sufficient glycogen reserves to sustain prolonged physical activity and achieve optimal results.
