Abstract

BLOM, P. C. S., D. L. COSTILL, and N. K. VØLLESTAD. Exhaustive running: inappropriate as a stimulus of muscle glycogen super-compensation. Med. Sci. Sports Exerc., Vol. 19, No. 4, pp. 398–403, 1987. Muscle glycogen super-compensation, as demonstrated after exhaustive cycling, may be affected by mode of exercise and state of training. Hence, we studied the effect of exhaustive running on post-exercise changes in muscle glycogen concentration in untrained subjects and compared the effect of tapered running with an exhaustive bout of running in well-trained runners. Six trained runners (T), 6 untrained subjects (UT), and 6 physically active subjects participated. Four hundred grams of carbohydrate were given for 2 d (PX2 and PX1) before exercise and 600 g for 3 d (R1, R2, and R3) with rest afterwards. Before exercise, T and UT were restricted in physical activity. Biopsies were obtained from the gastrocnemius muscle on PX2 and PX1 in T, and before (PX0), immediately after exercise (R0), and on R1, R2, and R3 in all groups. Muscle glycogen increased from 110 (±14) on PX2 to 180 (±11) mmol·kg-1 on PX0 in T (P < 0.001). This PX0 value was higher than the PX0 value for UT, which was 102 (±8) mmol·kg-1 (P < 0.005). R0 values were 57 (±14) and 26 (±4) mmol·kg-1, respectively. On R1, the glycogen concentration had increased to 127 (±10) and 87 (±3) mmol·kg-1 (P < 0.001). No changes occurred during R2 and R3. In a supplementary study, physically active subjects rested (series I) or ran lightly for 40 min (series II) on PX2 and PX1, respectively. The muscle glycogen concentrations on PX0 were higher in series I than series II, i.e. 173 (±11) vs 143 (±13) mmol·kg-1 (P < 0.05). The R0, R1, R2, and R3 values were similar in the two series. Conclusions: Muscle glycogen super-compensation did not occur after exhaustive running exercise in UT. In well-trained runners, little training combined with a moderately high carbohydrate intake for 2 d, gave similar muscle glycogen level as prolonged exhaustive running followed by 3 d with rest and a high carbohydrate diet. Light running vs rest on the 2 d prior to exhaustive exercise had no influence on the post-exercise glycogen restorage.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
