A highly enriched diet of carbohydrate can be used for the purpose of maximizing liver and muscle glycogen reserves. Glycogen is term used to denote a complex glucose that is able to supply large amounts of energy to the performance of anaerobic exercises.
Types of Carbohydrates:

Maltose.
Sucrose.
Glycogen.
Deoxyribose.
