First, lets establish I believe in a relatively moderate carbohydrate approach for those who
perform anaerobic training on a regular basis... Not too low, not too high, and eaten at the right times of day.
Even though I no longer compete, I still
perform both anaerobic training and strength workouts at various points throughout the year.

And while protein intake is important, your carbohydrate intake pre - and post-workout often plays a bigger role in how well you can
perform at higher intensity,
anaerobic training.
As a result, it has been suggested that the amount of carbohydrate consumed might be insufficient to fuel the
anaerobic exercise being
performed (Storey & Smith, 2012), particularly as strenuous resistance
training sessions can deplete muscle glycogen substantially (Slater & Phillips, 2011).
Low reps, explosive movement weight
training that uses
anaerobic creatine energy system leads to an increased muscle ability to store creatine and regenerates it faster after it's been depleted (more creatine — an extra repetition with heavy weight); high reps, slower movement weight
training that uses
anaerobic lactic acid energy system increases muscle tolerance to lactic acid (more muscle endurance, required in extreme situations when there's a need to
perform at a high intensity and sustain it for as long as possible — fighting for dear life is a good example).
Anaerobic activity is whenever you exercising withing a higher intensity zone and usually whenever you lift weights or
perform some type of strength
training.
If this test finds levels higher than normal, you should temporarily eliminate all
anaerobic exercise — including strength
training — and
perform aerobic - only workouts, while being very strict with the above dietary recommendations until blood tests are normal.
