Muscle Glycogen As An Important Predisposition For Optimal Performance In Football
Vol.12,No.2(2018)
Physical load during football match evokes significant depletion of glycogen stores. The intermittent nature of exercise including repeated maximal short sprints is associated with rapid muscle glycogen breakdown. With respect to quality of the training process and to optimal performance in a football game, especially with multiple matches in a week, replenishment of exercise capacity after training and matches is important. Restoration of glycogen stores is a primary focus of recovery. Ingesting carbohydrate during
exercise helps support performance and preserves sports skills to an optimal extent in the course of the whole match duration. Successful recovery requires players to consume an adequate quantity (up to 9 g/kg of body mass) of preferably high glycemic carbohydrates. Carbohydrate-protein mixtures may reduce
the delayed onset of muscle soreness caused by the eccentric character of some physical loads.
