To study the effect of downhill running on glycogen metabolism, 94 rats were exercised by running for 3 h on the level or down an 18 degrees incline. Muscle and liver glycogen concentrations were measured before exercise and 0, 48 and 52 h postexercise. Rats were not fed during the first 48 h of recovery but ingested a glucose solution 48 h postexercise. Downhill running depleted glycogen in the soleus muscle and liver significantly more than level running (P less than 0.01). The amount of glycogen resynthesized in the soleus muscle and liver in fasting or nonfasting rats was not altered significantly by downhill running (P greater than 0.05). On every day of recovery the rats were injected with dexamethasone, which induced similar increases in glycogen concentration in the soleus muscle and liver after the 52nd h of the postexercise period in the case of downhill and level running. The glycogen depletion and repletion results indicated that, under our experimental conditions, downhill running in the rat, a known model of eccentric exercise, affected muscle glycogen metabolism differently from eccentric cycling in humans.
