“Bonking” is a term used to describe the sudden loss of energy and motivation that can occur during prolonged exercise, particularly when glycogen stores are depleted. It is often characterized by feelings of fatigue, weakness, and difficulty concentrating.
Avoiding bonking is important for maintaining optimal performance during exercise. When bonking occurs, it can significantly impair an individual’s ability to continue exercising at the same intensity and duration. This can be particularly detrimental in competitive events or when trying to achieve specific fitness goals.
