Accelerating Post-exercise Muscle Glycogen Resynthesis in Humans: Impact of Combined Nutrient Intake and Intermittent Pneumatic Compression or Heat Therapy

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Muscle Recovery, Muscle Soreness, Glycogen Depletion

In brief

To determine if modalities designed to improve blood flow combined with post-exercise nutrient intake will improve replenishment of muscle glycogen better than nutrient intake alone. A secondary objective is to compare the effectiveness of heat therapy and intermittent pneumatic compression on glycogen replenishment.
