Abstract/OtherAbstract:
In this study we compared the effects of endurance training in the fasted state versus the fed state, on exercise-induced intramyocellular lipid (IMCL) and glycogen utilization during a 6-week period of hypercaloric (~+30% kcal/day) fat-rich diet (50% of kcal; HFD). Healthy male volunteers (18-25yrs) received HFD in conjunction with endurance training (4 times 60-90 min per week) either in the fasted state (F; n=10), or with ample carbohydrate intake before and during exercise sessions (CHO; n=10). The control group (CON; n=7) received HFD without training and increased body weight by ~3kg (P<0.001). Before and after HFD, the subjects performed a 2-hr constant-load bicycle exercise test in the fasted state @ ~70% VO(2)max. HFD, both in the absence or presence of training (F or CHO), elevated basal IMCL content by ~50% in type I and by ~75% in type IIa fibers (P<0.05). Independent of training in F or CHO, HFD as such stimulated exercise-induced net IMCL breakdown by ~2-fold in type I and by ~4-fold in type IIa fibers. Furthermore, exercise-induced net muscle glycogen breakdown was not significantly affected by HFD. It is concluded that HFD stimulates net IMCL degradation, by increasing basal IMCL content, during exercise in type I and especially IIa fibers. Furthermore, a hypercaloric HFD provides adequate amounts of carbohydrates to maintain high muscle glycogen content during training and does not impair exercise-induced muscle glycogen breakdown.
