We have shown that the time period required for metabolic recovery
from exhaustive exercise can be shortened from 8-12 h to 2-4 h.
What we don't know, however, is if this enhanced rate of recovery
is accompanied by an enhanced recovery of sprint or burst exercise
performance. Neither do we have a clear understanding of whether
or not muscle metabolic status influences sprint or burst performance.
Futhermore, we know very little about how sprint performance,
muscle metabolic status, feeding and developemental stage interact.
Clearly, a project with lots of possibilities.
