Carbohydrates do not accelerate force recovery after glycogen‐depleting followed by high‐intensity exercise in humans

Prolonged low-frequency force depression (PLFFD) induced by fatiguing exercise is characterized by a persistent depression in submaximal contractile force during the recovery period. Muscle glycogen depletion is known to limit physical performance during prolonged low- and moderate-intensity exercise, and accelerating glycogen resynthesis with post-exercise carbohydrate intake can facilitate recovery and improve repeated bout exercise...
