ClinConnect Summary

Carbohydrates (starches \& sugars) are important muscle fuel for exercise at moderate to high intensities. Low glycogen content (stored form of carbohydrates in the body) is associated with fatigue. Thus, greater initial glycogen content has been associated with better performance not only in high intensity intermittent sports, but also in prolonged endurance sports. Dose-response studies have determined that ingestion of 1.2 g·kg-1·h-1 of CHO is the appropriate acute recovery dose to optimize glycogen repletion, with no apparent benefit at higher doses. Protein in combination with CHO has ...
