Summary

To understand alterations in glycogen and molecular regulation of skeletal muscle glucose uptake, glycogen synthesis, and muscle protein recovery when consuming CHO (glucose) or CHO+PRO (glucose + whey) post-exercise during unacclimatized high altitude exposure, randomized crossover double blinded studies will be conducted in the hypobaric/hypoxic chamber at USARIEM Table 1. Briefly, the study consists of a 2 day baseline period at SL followed by two, 3 day trial periods (with the 3rd day being a testing day) at HA. The baseline is separated from trial 1 for a least a day, and trial 1 \& 2 separated by at least 4 days. Volunteers will consume CHO (glucose) or CHO+PRO (glucose + whey) drinks post-exercise during unacclimatized high altitude exposure during the two trial periods. The order of the drinks will be randomized (using a random number generator such as randomizer.org) and kept by a study staff not directly involved in data collection to maintain blinding.
