Glycogen
Glycogen can be thought of as energy storage. It is found in animal and human cells.
When performing aerobic exercise or resistance training, we deplete our glycogen stores. Therefore, consuming carbohydrates post workout is an effective way to promote glycogen synthesis. Serious athletes may supplement their diet with L-Glutamine to further help with muscle glycogen restoration.
As exercise time increases, what happens to muscle glycogen concentration?
As exercise intensity increases, what happens to glycogen depletion?
