Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

A	True
B	False
C	Either A or B
D	None of the above

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -To sum up, depletion of glycogen during prolonged, exhausting exercise may contribute to fatigue by causing decreased SR Ca2+ release and the underlying mechanism seems to be independent of the overall energy level of muscle fibres.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glycogen depletion happens when we run out of glycogen stores because of lack of food or intense exercise. Glycogen in the muscles can only be used by that muscle. Glycogen stored in the liver can be used throughout the body. Carb-containing foods restore glycogen most effectively.
