Answer:

when you engage in long, intense athletic events, your body needs extra energy to keep going. The purpose of carbohydrate loading is to give you the energy you need to complete an endurance event with less fatigue, improving your athletic performance.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the pre-workout meal has not been digested, it will not provide 'fuel' for the session. That's why you do it a day before.
