## Glycogen Depletion During Exercise

Glycogen is the primary fuel for moderate-to-high intensity exercise. Depletion causes fatigue ("bonking" or "hitting the wall").

### Estimation

**Depletion Rate (g/hr) = Starting Glycogen x Intensity Factor x 0.02**

**Glycogen Used = Depletion Rate x Duration**

A well-fed athlete stores about 400-600 g of muscle glycogen. At 70% VO2max, glycogen provides 50-70% of energy. Full depletion typically occurs after 90-120 minutes of continuous vigorous exercise without carbohydrate intake.

हल किया गया उदाहरण

Starting with 500 g glycogen, exercising at 70% VO2max for 90 minutes.

  1. Depletion rate = 500 x 0.70 x 0.02 = 7.0 g/hr
  2. Glycogen used = 7.0 x 1.5 hrs = 10.5 g
  3. Note: actual rates are much higher (~2-3 g/min at 70% VO2max)
  4. Time to depletion = 500 / 7.0 x 60 = 4,286 min
