SSE #100: Nutrition to Promote Recovery from Exercise

Objectives:
  • Be able to explain why the replenishment of muscle glycogen during recovery is a major goal of recovery nutrition.
  • Be able to describe how glycogen can be replenished most quickly with carbohydrate feedings in the hours immediately following exhaustive exercise.
  • Be able to describe the process of “glycogen loading” in the days after exhaustive exercise.
  • Be able to summarize the research evidence on whether or not carbohydrate feedings after exhaustive constant-pace exercise improve performance 4 hours later and 24 hours later.
  • Be able to summarize the research evidence on whether or not protein should be ingested along with carbohydrate to optimize performance following 4 hours of recovery.
  • Be able to summarize the research on whether or not carbohydrate feedings during recovery from “stop and go” exercise can improve subsequent performance in the same type of exercise.
  • Be able to describe how eccentric muscle actions may influence glycogen replenishment.
  • Be able to describe the recommended procedures for stimulating rapid rehydration following exhaustive exercise.
