Brief Summary: This investigation will examine the impact of skeletal muscle glycogen stores on skeletal muscle and circulating microRNA expression and exogenous carbohydrate oxidation.

Primary Objective Determine the influence of carbohydrate availability (e.g., glycogen depletion and repletion) on skeletal muscle microRNA expression, and if changes in circulating microRNA are reflective of changes in skeletal muscle microRNA.

Secondary Objective Determine how initiation of exercise with adequate or low glycogen stores effects exogenous carbohydrate efficiency.
Detailed Description: Twelve, normal weight, healthy, physically active men and women will complete a glycogen depletion protocol, cycling at various intensities until failure. Participants will then consume a carbohydrate (CHO: 1 g/kg/hr) or an energy free control (CON) beverage matched for taste and color during the first 3-hr post glycogen depletion. For the remainder of the day participants will consume a diet designed to adequately (6.0 g CHO/kg/d) or inadequately (1.2 g CHO/kg/d) replenish glycogen stores. The following day participants will to complete 80-min of steady-state (\~60% VO2peak) cycle ergometry consuming carbohydrate at a rate of 1.8 g/min enriched with a stable isotope of carbon to determine exogenous carbohydrate efficiency when glycogen stores are low or adequate at the onset of exercise.

Following a minimum 7-d washout period volunteers will return to the laboratory to complete the second arm of the investigation. To ensure glycogen stores are similar between volunteers on testing day, 48-hrs prior to testing all volunteers will complete a glycogen depletion protocol and then consume a diet providing 6.0 g/kg/d carbohydrate to replenish glycogen stores.
