It's a matter first of intensity level of the exercise. If you're running at a level you could (with due training) maintain for 20+ hours, you're burning mostly fat -- even if you stop at 20 minutes. The second point, and it's a minor variation on that fundamental principle, is that your body uses more glycogen when you first start than later on, even at constant intensity level. iirc, though, it's a matter of a few percent or tens of percent difference, rather than the factor of 2+ that the intensity level makes. There you go. Until the body makes this transition, the primary fuel sources are muscular then systemic glycogen. Saying is "Fat burns in a fire of glycogen". Some glycogen is necessary in order to drive the reaction that takes energy (mostly) from the fats. After you run out of glycogen, the result is the US bonk, which is not nearly as fun as the UK bonk. What your body does then is drag protein in to keep the fat-burning reaction going. This is highly inefficient (= little energy production) and just downright unpleasant. For illustration purposes, we sometimes talk as if only one thing ('carb burning' 'fat burning' 'training VO2max' ...) were going on. The truth is more like all possible reactions are always going on in the body. Yes but there is usually a recordable threshold where the energy pendulum moves form oxygen independency to oxygen dependency. You're always burning some of each possible substrate, it's just that the proportions shift. You're always using each possible energy-supplying reaction; even for ultramarathoners, some of the lactic-acid producing reaction is done. But the proportions shift. Shift they do. |

Let's see some references then.

Sorry about that. Question: if the body always uses muslce glycogen up first, no matter what the effort level (I think this is what you said), The body looks to utilize muscular glycogen and similar chemistries as a preferential source for human movement especially if that movement, in time, leads into an oxygen dependent state..... then why does it even bother to store muscle glycogen? Because if it doesn't store it, then how can it call on systemic glycogen for reserves? Wouldn't nature tend to select those individuals whose bodies saved their more explosive fuel (glycogen) for times when it could help save one's life? As in Fight or Flight! It's been a while since the days when humans required fight/flight scenarios as regular occurrences. How much has this human physiology evolved since the saber tooth tiger days? Beats me. I can't find any citations from then. |

Is a master's degree in exercise science and 7 years of application enough?
Throw in a couple of peer reviewed papers for good measure. "MU" wrote in message ... Fat is burned in the absence of other energy dependent chemistries being available.

One of the effects of endurance training is to increase the contribution of fatty acid oxidation at a given intensity. I have no problem with that. |
