Abstract

The optimization of post-exercise glycogen synthesis can improve endurance performance, delay fatigue in subsequent bouts, and accelerate recovery from exercise. High carbohydrate intakes (1.2 g/kg of body weight/h) are recommended in the first 4 h after exercise. However, athletes may struggle to consume carbohydrates at those levels.

Purpose of Review

Thus, we aimed to determine whether the consumption of non-carbohydrate dietary factors (creatine, glutamine, caffeine, flavonoids, and alcohol) enhances post-exercise glycogen synthesis.

Recent Findings

Trained athletes may not realize the benefits of creatine loading on glycogen synthesis. The impacts of caffeine, glutamine, flavonoids, and alcohol on post-exercise glycogen synthesis are poorly understood. Other ergogenic benefits to exercise performance, however, have been reported for creatine, glutamine, caffeine, and flavonoids, which were beyond the scope of this review.

Summary

Evidence in trained athletes is limited and inconclusive on the impact of these non-carbohydrate dietary factors on post-exercise glycogen synthesis.
