Using carbo loading to increase the store of glycogen seems to benefit only those athletes who engage in aerobic activities that are:

1. Extended in duration, typically lasting more than 90 minutes.
2. Moderate to high in intensity.
3. Requiring significant endurance.

the answer probably has something to do with length of time. aerobic activities are activities that involve the use of oxygen to make energy (ex: jogging) anaerobic activities are activities where the output of energy is greater then the amount of oxygen your body can take in. these activities last a very short amount of time aerobic activities can last hours

Carbohydrate loading is a strategy primarily beneficial for endurance athletes engaging in aerobic activities that last over 90 minutes, are moderate to high in intensity, and require significant endurance. The process helps maximize energy stores in the form of glycogen, crucial for maintaining performance during extended events. However, it is not necessary for those participating in shorter or less intense activities.
