==Short workout== A new carbo-loading regimen developed by scientists at the [[University of Western Australia]] calls for a normal diet with light training until the day before the race. On the day before the race, the athlete performs a very short, extremely high-intensity workout (such as a few minutes of sprinting) then consumes {{nowrap|12 g}} of carbohydrate per kilogram of [[lean mass]] over the next 24 hours. The regimen resulted in a 90% increase in glycogen storage when compared to before the carbo-load, which is comparable to or higher than the results achieved with other 2 day β 6 day carbo-loading regimes.<ref>{{Cite journal|pmid=12048325 |title=Rapid carbohydrate loading after a short bout of near maximal-intensity exercise |first1=TJ |last1=Fairchild |first2=S |last2=Fletcher| first3=P |last3=Steele| first4=C |last4=Goodman| first5=B |last5=Dawson| first6=PA |last6=Fournier |date= June 2002| volume=34 | issue=6 | journal=Med Sci Sports Exerc | pages=980β6 | doi=10.1097/00005768-200206000-00012|s2cid=23711139 |doi-access=free }}{{MEDRS|date=September 2013}}</ref>
