Document Summary

2 types of exercise: moderately intense and prolonged (30 mins to an hour, extremely intense and intermittent. don t have to completely run out to decrease your performance. What you do before the training session or competition: you should increase your stores in these situations, you can approximately double your stores. doesn t allow you to go harder for twice the length of time: when you eat a lot of cho, you preferentially use more cho during the exercise. you can t go twice as long, but you can go longer. High cho intake will increase glycogen stores in both muscle and liver = enhanced performance. Gluconeogenesis: the formation of new glucose, body can make glucose from non-cho pre-cursors. from carbon chains of lactic and amino acids. If a lot of lactic acid is produced and glycogen stores are depleted. can produce glucose from lactic acid or amino acids.
