        Abstract
        The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of carbohydrate loading (CHO) on physiologic and performance variables in seven moderately trained females (aged 30.9 ± 9.6 years; VO2max 51.8 ± 2.3 ml/kg/minute) during the follicular and luteal menstrual cycle phases. Participants completed a 60 minute treadmill run at 70% VO2max followed by a timed run to exhaustion at 80% VO2max under four conditions: (1) follicular phase, CHO loading (F/CHO); (2) follicular phase, normal mixed diet (F/NMD); (3) luteal phase, CHO loading (L/CHO); (4) luteal phase, normal mixed diet (L/NMD). CHO loading was accomplished using a modified regime and a tapered running program. Performance time to volitional exhaustion at 80% VO2max was significantly increased in L/CHO over L/NMD (p
