Question

multiple choice question a possible detrimental effect relative to carbohydrate loading is: decreased liver glycogen stores. extra body weight. decreased body weight.

Explanation:

Carbohydrate loading involves increasing carbohydrate intake to maximize glycogen stores (in muscles and liver) and also leads to water retention (since glycogen binds water). This additional glycogen and associated water can result in extra body weight. Decreased liver glycogen stores is incorrect as carb loading aims to increase them. Decreased body weight is also incorrect as the process typically adds weight (from glycogen and water). So the detrimental effect here is extra body weight.

Answer:

B. extra body weight (assuming the options are labeled A, B, C with A: decreased liver glycogen stores, B: extra body weight, C: decreased body weight)
