Not exact matches

«The carbs supply energy to train and replace muscle glycogen after you've trained — plus refined sugars cause the body to release insulin, which after traininghas a very anabolic effect and enhances protein synthesis.»

Actually if you don't consume protein and carbs during the first two hours after the workout, glycogen synthesis and protein synthesis will be reduced by about 50 percent.

The carbohydrates will boost your glycogen synthesis as well and will make your muscles regenerate more quickly, as opposed to when you work out, when your muscle protein starts degrading and you will need a lot of protein in your after - workout meal just to fix the structural problems of the muscle that arise when you lift heavy weights.

In the end it makes little difference, but studies have shown the most protein and glycogen synthesis within 2 hours after a workout.

One study demonstrated that taking Glutamine during or after a workout, stimulates and increases glycogen synthesis as effective as taking a high dose of carbs.The study showed that taking an 8 - gram glutamine solution after an intense workout was as equally effective as taking 60 grams of carbohydrates for restoring muscle glycogen.The combination of glutamine and carbohydrates (glycose) was even more effective than glutamine or carbohydrates separately.

To optimize and expedite the recovery process, athletes need to rehydrate and replenish lost stores, with a goal of repleting 100 - 150 % of body mass losses within one hour of exercise cessation (side note: repleting 150 % may be hard on the stomach for heavy sweaters).1 Endurance athletes especially should replenish with water, sodium, and carbohydrate within the first hour after exercise to ensure the highest rates of glycogen (our stored energy) resynthesis.15 Recovery drinks with protein have been reported to maximize protein synthesis rates, consisting of approximately 0.2 — 0.4 g / kg / h protein and 0.8 g / kg / h of carbohydrates.16 Chocolate milk has a nice carbohydrate to protein ratio of 4:1 and is an inexpensive, but still palatable, recovery option.17

Besides the mental aspect that being flat has on a competitor, the real problem is that having a flat muscle over time will lower protein synthesis and the rate of recovery for the muscle after a workout is less than what it could be by replenishing the muscle with glycogen.
