Summary:Meeting abstracts - A single PDF containing all abstracts in this supplement is available at http://www.biomedcentral.com/content/files/pdf/1550-2783-8-S1-full.pdf.EMPTY Background High-intensity exercise typically leads to a depletion of body carbohydrate stores, primarily muscle glycogen. [...] typical 'sports recovery drinks' include a high carbohydrate dose, which stimulate muscle glucose uptake and glycogen re-synthesis via increased plasma insulin level. [...] interventions that elevate plasma insulin following exercise could facilitate repletion of muscle glycogen stores, and serve as a useful 'recovery agent'.
