Document Summary

Looking at muscle glycogen and duration along x axis. As duration increases, glycogen decreases and perceived exertion increases. 3 training sessions on each of the spikes in the graph. Both groups saw decrease in muscle glycogen. Glycogen repletion occurs much faster when you have a high cho diet. Low cho continual drop in muscle glycogen. Diet affects glycogen repletion patterns in muscle. Low carb diet people will be more tired. People ride bike for a few hours. In exercise leg over next 3 days there is tremendous increase in muscle glycogen. After 3 days of recovery, no exercise leg had no difference. Glycogen changes (depletion/repletion) is only affected by the working muscle. Had group consume low cho diet but high protein for 3 days. Mixed diet 50/50 to high carb, will see increase in glycogen storage. Gatorade will better performance and endurance will improve. No difference till 90 minutes for a cho-fed diet.
