*DEFINITIONS*

Under *International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN) *policy, submission

of a completed SFI is required prior to submission of a manuscript to ISSN

(see #2 below as it pertains to a presentation at the ISSN Conference or

Symposia). In accordance with the guidelines on conflict of interest of

ISSN, all authors and presenters are required to indicate if they have a

relationship that, in the context of the subject matter and content of their

submission, could be *perceived *as a real or apparent conflict of interest.

This pertains to relationships with dietary supplement, pharmaceutical,

food, beverage, or cosmetic ingredient and/or finished goods manufacturers

and/or marketers, biomedical/analytical device manufacturers, contract

manufacturers, contract laboratories, inventor/co-inventorship of a patent

pending or issued, or with other corporations whose products or services are

related in any way to the subject matter and content of the submission.

Disclosure is to include any relationship that may bias one's submission or

which, if known, could give the *perception *of bias. Such relationships

include, but are not limited to, employment by or receipt of research funds

from an industrial concern, ownership of stock, membership on a standing

advisory council, committee, or board of directors, authorship of a book of

related title/topic, or being publicly associated with a company or its

products or services. Other areas of real or perceived conflicts of interest

could include receiving honoraria or consulting fees, receipt of gifts,

gratuities, loans or special favors (including trips or speaker's fees), or

receiving equipment in or out of the context of a research grant from such

corporations or individuals representing such corporations. Any such

relationships will be disclosed to the readership in the final published

form. Each author must complete the SFI and sign and certify.

It is the aim of ISSN to provide content of exceptional intellectual quality

and ethical substance. Completion of the SFI will preserve the trust and

transparency essential to professional objectivity.

Ivy, J.L., *Regulation of Muscle Glycogen Repletion and Tissue

Repair.* Department

of Kinesiology and Health Education, The University of Texas, Austin, Texas

78712-0360, USA. johnivy@...

During sustained high intensity exercise muscle glycogen stores are depleted

or severely reduced, and muscle damage can be extensive. Muscle glycogen is

an essential fuel source for the regeneration of ATP during sustained high

intensity anaerobic and aerobic exercise. Therefore, its replenishment

following strenuous exercise is paramount to recovery. Likewise, muscle

tissue repair is essential for recovery and required before appropriate

training adaptations can occur. Following exercise the muscles are highly

sensitive to nutrient activation, but this sensitivity declines with

time. Therefore,

to maximize the rate of muscle glycogen repletion, supplementation must

occur soon after the completion of exercise. Additionally, the

supplementation should be a combination of both carbohydrate and protein. This

combination of macronutrients results in an accelerated rate of muscle

glycogen storage possibly by activating the glycogen synthesis pathway by

two different mechanisms. First, it raises the plasma insulin level beyond

that typical of a carbohydrate supplement, which may augment muscle glucose

uptake and activate glycogen synthase, the rate-limiting enzyme for glycogen

synthesis. Second, the increase in plasma amino acids that occur as a

result of protein consumption may activate glycogen synthase through an

insulin independent pathway, thus having an additive effect on the activity

of this enzyme. Continued supplementation at 2-hour intervals can maintain

an active glycogen recovery for up to 8 hours post exercise. The

combination of carbohydrate and protein provided immediately post exercise

is also ideal for stimulation of protein synthesis and tissue repair. This

is due to the additive effect of insulin and amino acids on the enzymes

controlling amino acid transport, protein translation and protein

degradation. Moreover, research has demonstrated that appropriate nutrient

supplementation post exercise can have a significant impact on subsequent

physical performance. This review will discuss the appropriate

supplementation strategies for rapid recovery for strenuous exercise,

including the most appropriate timing and types of supplement consumption,

and the impact this will have on subsequent physical performance.
