If the athlete had a fit rich and a poor carbohydrate diet, it would mean that they would have lower muscle glycogen content and a higher rate of fat oxidisation during exercise, when compared with a high carbohydrate low fat diet. The whole effect of such a diet could potentially be a sparing of muscle glycogen, and because muscle glycogen storage is paired up with endurance performance, it is possible that adaptation to a high fat diet could potentially enhance endurance performance. Therefor the athlete could afford to eat fatty things in their diet and be able to use the energy it gives to good use. The athlete would have to perform a lot of endurance exercise so that it does not hinder the performance.

∙ 11y agoThe fat and Glycogen usually increases due to less secretion of the enzyme- Steapsin and Lipase in body but sometimes due to increased amount of fat consumption and less amount of physical exercise , it may occur.

∙ 9y agoExercise DECREASES the storage of glycogen and fat. Exercise calls on the body's fat stores and glycogen production. It interrupts storage by using the excess carbs which convert to sugars, preventing glycogen from being stored. Exercise makes muscles leaner, improving how we use blood glucose.

What is excess glucose stored as?
glycogen
What polysaccharides do animals make?
Animals convert glucose to glycogen for longer term storage. In humans, glycogen is stored in the liver. Glycogen will be used before fat reserves are tapped.
Which macromolecules can be used for long term energy storage in animals?
Glycogen (made up the macromolecule carbohydrates)
What is a form of temporary store of energy?
The primary storage forms of energy in the body is as glycogen and fat.
What is the long term storage for energy in humans?
Fat provides the longest term energy storage. This is because it is the most energy dense molecule in the body.
Where does the body store carbohydrates?
Carbohydrates are absorbed and converted into glucose. The glucose can be stored as glycogen in the liver and the muscle tissue. If these are full the glucose will be converted into fat and stored.
Where is glucose stored in a cell?
glucose is stored in fat it is not stored as anything else other than glucose in fat. This is why people are fat because they take in too much glucose and it is not burned off through exercise so instead of the body wasting it, it stores it as fat
Amino acids and fat do what?
Amino acids make up protein and fat serves as our "second storage unit" for energy (the first being glycogen, made from glucose).
Does glycerol provide long-term energy storage for animals?
Fat is the long term energy storage medium for most animals. Glycogen is the short term storage medium. Glycerol is the backbone of triglycerides.
What is The main function of glycogen is?
A carbohydrate storage molecule in animals that can be accessed faster than fat molecules.Glycogen is a multibranched polysaccharide that serves as a form of energy storage in animals and fungi.
What happens to the fats that are not used by the body for energy?
Fat and Glycogen are two storage forms of energy in the human body. However, fat can be viewed as an "emergency" store of energy. Fat will only be used for energy if the body is depleted of glycogen stores. The fats that aren't being used for energy will just be stored until you need them. So to put it simply, they won't go anywhere or serve any purpose until you either surgically remove them, starve yourself, or exercise.
What is the storage form of glucose in the human body?
The human body stores excess glucose as glycogen. The storage areas for glycogen are limited, therefore any carbohydrates that are consumed beyond that capacity is stored as fat, of which the body can store an unlimited amount.
