Abstract
A higher glycogen breakdown rate in type 2 fibres compared to type 1 fibres was observed during high-intensity exercise.
- Utilisation of muscle glycogen varies by fibre type, with type 2 fibres showing greater breakdown in specific subcellular fractions during initial exercise.
- Intra and fractions exhibited significant depletion in type 2 fibres during the first exercise period.
- By the second and third exercise periods, glycogen utilisation in type 2 fibres decreased, leading to low glycogen levels across all subcellular fractions.
- Large variability in glycogen utilisation was noted at the single-fibre level, particularly with early depletion of Intra glycogen in type 2 fibres.
- These findings highlight the complexity of glycogen metabolism in muscle cells, showing localisation-specific and time-dependent differences during high-intensity exercise.
