Galactose Mediated Glycogen Resynthesis

Exercise Clinical Trial

Official title: Galactose Mediated Glycogen Resynthesis and the Effects on Metabolism During Subsequent Exercise

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study will compare short-term post-exercise muscle glycogen synthesis following combined galactose-glucose, glucose alone or galactose alone ingestion.

Clinical Trial Description

Lactose, the sugar contained within milk, consists of glucose and galactose. Post-exercise consumption of a carbohydrate mixture containing glucose with galactose has been shown to accelerate liver glycogen repletion as compared to glucose-only provision. However, the extent to which galactose-glucose combinations influence post-exercise muscle glycogen storage has yet to be determined.

Therefore, this study will investigate whether short-term muscle glycogen storage after strenuous endurance exercise is enhanced by combined galactose-glucose or glucose only ingestion as compared to the ingestion of galactose alone. ;
