Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

This process requires enough consumption of dietary carbohydrates and enough time. To provide effective training to the athlete, there must be understanding about the glycogen metabolism, the time required for its depletion, and impact of other dietary sources on glycogenolysis.
