Summary Introduction

To review:

The result of external glucose administration on metabolism of carbohydrate, if the probability value (P-value) between the glucose-ingested group at three hours and the point of fatigue is 0.63 and the mechanism by which the placebo group compensates for availability of carbohydrate.

Given:

A group of seven trained cyclists were included in two cycling trials. On day 1, the athletes were given flavored water (a placebo) at 20 minutes of the intervals throughout the trial. On day 2, the athletes were administered with glucose, again at every 20 minutes of intervals throughout the trial. The levels of the muscle glycogen and the time taken by muscles to get tired were recorded in the given Table 1.

Table 1: Time taken by the muscles to get tired in response to different drinks.

Types of drinks ingested by athletes Levels of muscle glycogen at the starting (0 hours) Levels of muscle glycogen after 2 hours of cycling Levels of muscle glycogen after 3 hours of cycling Levels of muscle glycogen after 4 hours of cycling Time taken by muscles to get fatigued

Introduction:

Glucose provides the source of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is also referred as the cell’s energy currency. The glucose is used to perform various physiological processes inside the body. The ATP, produced during the glycolytic pathway, provides tremendous amount of energy. The P-value between three hours and the time till muscle gets fatigue indicates more probability of acceptance of the null hypothesis.
