PG - 9 LID - 10.1186/s40798-020-00297-0 [doi] LID - 9 AB - BACKGROUND: Rapid restoration of muscle glycogen stores is imperative for athletes undertaking consecutive strenuous exercise sessions with limited recovery time (e.g. hourly) and the mean difference in rate of re-synthesis between treatments. Part 2: 19 trials (n = 160) were reviewed. Ingesting CHO+PRO (CHO: 0.86 +/- 0.2 g.kg BM(-1) h(-1); PRO: 0.27 +/- 0.1 g.kg BM(-1) h(-1)) did not improve the rate of muscle glycogen re-synthesis compared to CHO alone (0.95 +/- 0.3 g.kg BM(-1) h(-1)); MG(Delta) re-synthesis rate = 0.4 mmol.kg dm(-1) h(-1), 95% CI -2.7 to 3.4, p = 0.805; I(2) = 56.4%. CONCLUSIONS: Athletes with limited time for recovery between consecutive exercise sessions should prioritise regular intake of CHO, while co-ingesting PRO with CHO appears unlikely to enhance (or impede) the rate of muscle glycogen re-synthesis.
