What crash my tablet when I’m split in stitches thinking about you and work… Especially during all those Brrrrrr, cold DAMN days!
My dear Watson’s… What could be more interesting than learning a thing or 2 and then rubbing it just the right way, huh???
Well for our mutual R. O. F. L. Sunday night pleasure…. I’ll have you review those videos of cold from work and see if you can figure out ‘HOW’ I solved NRGY depletion mechanically! or was that a 🙂 ?
You know it’s times like this when a ruler on the desk whacked a few couple of times pays off.
So for your enlightenment, without further ado… See if you can figure it out.
Ooooops again, if you missed out on all the action the first time, DAMN it, oh well there’s always skiing and snowboarding, maybe?
…. ” Glycogen depletion and endurance exercise
Long-distance athletes such as marathon runners, cross-country skiers, and cyclists often experience glycogen depletion, where almost all of the athlete’s glycogen stores are depleted after long periods of exertion without enough energy consumption. This phenomenon is referred to as “hitting the wall”.
Glycogen depletion can be forestalled in three possible ways. First, during exercise carbohydrates with the highest possible rate of conversion to blood glucose per time (high glycemic index) are ingested continuously. The best possible outcome of this strategy replaces about 35% of glucose consumed at heart rates above about 80% of maximum. Second, through endurance training adaptations and specialized regimens (e.g. fasted low-intensity endurance training), the body can condition type I muscle fibers to improve both fuel utilization efficiency and workload capacity to increase the percentage of fatty acids utilized as fuel[11][12][citation needed], sparing carbohydrate use from all sources. Third, by consuming large quantities of carbohydrates after depleting glycogen stores as a result of exercise or diet, the body can increase storage capacity of intramuscular glycogen stores.[13][14][15] This process is known as carbohydrate loading. In general, glycemic index of carbohydrate source doesn’t matter since muscular insulin sensitivity is increased as a result of temporary glycogen depletion.[16][17]
When experiencing glycogen debt, athletes often experience extreme fatigue to the point that it is difficult to move. As a reference, the very best professional cyclists in the world will usually finish a 4-5hr stage race right at the limit of glycogen depletion using the first 3 strategies.
A study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology (online May 8, 2008) suggests that, when athletes ingest both carbohydrate and caffeine following exhaustive exercise, their glycogen is replenished more rapidly.[unreliable medical source?][18][19]”…
Slap me during the Olympics!!!
Bet ya the phone was more on your minds huh?
Well there you go, how much does my slap cost?
More than a pretty penny. My guess S. O. B. %)
