2 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This investigation will examine the impact of skeletal muscle glycogen stores on skeletal muscle and circulating microRNA expression and exogenous carbohydrate oxidation. Primary Objective Determine the influence of carbohydrate availability (e.g., glycogen depletion and repletion) on skeletal muscle microRNA expression, and if changes in circulating microRNA are reflective of changes in skeletal muscle microRNA. Secondary Objective Determine how initiation of exercise with adequate or low glycogen stores effects exogenous carbohydrate efficiency.
To determine if modalities designed to improve blood flow combined with post-exercise nutrient intake will improve replenishment of muscle glycogen better than nutrient intake alone. A secondary objective is to compare the effectiveness of heat therapy and intermittent pneumatic compression on glycogen replenishment.
