Final answer:

For moderate-duration/low intensity training, daily carbohydrate needs depend on the type of training and exercise intensity.

Carbohydrate needs for athletes engaged in low intensity activities can increase by about 3-10 g/kg/day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Your daily carbohydrate needs for moderate-duration/low intensity training depend on the type of training and exercise intensity. According to Table 19.1.4, carbohydrate needs for athletes engaged in low intensity or skill-based activities can increase by about 3-10 g/kg/day.

For a well-conditioned athlete, consuming carbohydrates equivalent to 3-10 grams per kilogram of body weight would be suitable for this type of training.
