RESUMO

A qualitative histochemical assessment of glycogen loss in biopsies was made in bush-babies after running and jumping. Glycogen loss was related to the specific type of exercise. After running, glycogen loss was greatest in the slow-twitch oxidative fibre and depletion in the fast-twitch oxidative glycolytic fibres was similarly greater than in the fast-twitch glycolytic fibres. After jumping, the opposite pattern of glycogen utilization occurred (FG>FOG>SO).
