Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The time in which glycogen reserves will run out just after starting running a marathon should be determined, considering that the energy spent while running long distances is 10 times the rate of energy consumed per day by an average human at rest.

Concept introduction:

Glycogen is a glucose polymer, its purpose is to reserve the energy provided by that carbohydrate, energy that will be used when the levels of glucose in the bloodstream are very low, for example when doing intense activity.
