Exercise- and diet-induced glycogen depletion impairs performance during one-legged constant-load, high-intensity exercise in humans.

Introduction: The effect of muscle glycogen stores on performance during intense short-duration exercises in humans is unclear. We hypothesized that low initial muscle glycogen levels would impair constant-load intense one-legged knee extensor exercise lasting approximately 5 min and human muscle contractile function, as determined by maximal voluntary contraction (MVC), electrically induced single-twitch maximal force, rate of force development (RFD), and rate of relaxation. Furthermore, alter phosphorylation of the Na/K-ATPase (NKA) regulatory proteins AMPK and FXYD1 indicating attenuated NKA activity.
