terrain, uphill vs downhill and elevation .

80
Q

if there is not enough glycogen, what happens to NADH… and so forth

A

decreased NADH, decreased Krebs and ETC. so its hard to oxidize FFA for energy

from the rapid breakdown of PCr and ATP, this can impair the contractile property of muscle and Ca released from the SR
