One thing to bear in mind is that if kids burn fewer fed carbohydrates and storage
glycogen during exercise, it's unlikely that post-workout recovery via carbohydrate replenishment is as important for kids.
Fat is the preferred fuel of muscle tissue at rest (make sure you get plenty of sleep to maximize this benefit), AND it protects your muscle's valuable protein stores while being burned for energy along with glucose and
glycogen during exercise.

during exercise.

during an
exercise or a movement pattern.
If you are worried about performance keep in mind that
during exercise the body runs primarily on stored
glycogen.

glycogen remaining in your muscles,
during sub-maximal
exercise, boosts endurance.

during exercise, delayed exhaustion, and increased
glycogen reserves.
One study gave eight athletes a novel oral ketone ester drink every 60 minutes
during the initial 5 hour of recovery, following a
glycogen depleting maximal
exercise bout (10).
who wrote «The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Performance»... A keto adapted athlete can replenish
glycogen stores just as fast or even faster than a high carb eating athlete, without consuming any real carbs
during extended
exercise.
During exercise, the body releases stored energy called
glycogen to supply fuel to working muscle fibers.
And this is a key differentiator when it comes the importance of carbohydrates and performance: Carbohydrates, specifically muscle
glycogen, provide a very fast source of energy, making it possible for an athlete to perform at peak levels
during intense
exercise.
Consuming exogenous ketones has also been demonstrated to up - regulate the usage of fatty acids for energy and might also delay the start of fatigue
during exercise because of a decrease in
glycogen depletion.
This means if you use up your
glycogen stores
during prolonged or intense
exercise, you won't have more stores to tap into, unless of course, you eat more carbs.
One of the substances that carbs are converted to in the body is
glycogen, which is stored in the muscles and liver and is the primary source of fuel
during intense
exercise like weightlifting and high - intensity interval training.
Particularly
during high intensity
exercise, energy (ATP) is derived from blood glucose and muscle
glycogen.
They provide a quick carbohydrate boost to replenish diminishing blood sugar
during sustained
exercise to prevent «bonking» or «hitting the wall», when our bodies run out of glucose from our
glycogen stores and we suddenly run out of energy.
Immediately following
exercise, the cells in the muscles you worked
during exercise have depleted their
glycogen stores (they use sugar to function, synthesize protein, and store as backup fuel to access
during the next bout of exertion).
When
glycogen stores are low, they will become more rapidly depleted
during exercise, causing an earlier fatigue onset and decreased performance.
Glycogen stores (the carbs you ate yesterday) are used as fuel
during intense
exercise, so consuming carbs after your workout helps replenish what's gone.
Being able to mobilize and oxidize stored fat
during exercise reduces an athlete's reliance on
glycogen.
MCTs are thought to increase energy levels
during high - intensity
exercise and serve as an alternative energy source, sparing
glycogen stores.
Adding PRO to create a CHO: PRO ratio of 3 — 4:1 may increase endurance performance and maximally promotes

The main reason to consume carbs after your
exercise is to replenish the muscle
glycogen that you burned
during your workout.

during any given resting or
exercise intensity.

during exercise,
glycogen stores will be used for fuel.
