Table 2.

Muscle glycogen levels. Total muscle glycogen concentrations at pre and post exercise and after 4 and 24 h of recovery expressed as mmol·kg−1·dw−1. Note different glycogen repletion rates between H2O and CHO after 4 h recovery.

CHO (mmol·kg−1·dw−1) H2O (mmol·kg−1·dw−1)
Pre 732 ± 28 666 ± 43
Post 234 ± 39*** 245 ± 49***
4 h 444 ± 24*** 264 ± 31***,
24 h 704 ± 39 616 ± 31

Significantly different from pre is indicated by *** (P < 0.001), and by when significantly different from CHO at corresponding time point (P = 0.002).
